Sony PRS-505 Reader eBook

Sony PRS-505 Reader eBook Summary:

The Sony PRS-505 eBook reader uses impressive e Ink technology to create the look of traditional print on its 6” screen, so it’s just like reading real paper. There’s no backlight so there’s no strain on your eyes, no flickering screen to distract you – for a really relaxing read you can even take it outside on a sunny day. Thanks to the eBook's ability to play MP3 files, you can even listen to your favourite tracks as you enjoy the latest page turner. You can bookmark pages or magnify text on a page; the eBook Reader will also remember where you last left off – even if you don’t! Set up is simple - install the supplied software on your computer, connect the eBook Reader to it with the cable provided and you’re ready. It’s easy to create and manage your eBook library on your PC and transfer your eBooks to the eBook Reader - exactly like you do with your music on your MP3 player.

The Sony PRS505 reader eBook now comes with a disc containing 100 FREE complete and unabridged Classics favourites (while stocks last). You can also download up to 160 books you’ve purchased from the internet to its memory, for reading whenever and wherever the mood takes you, requires an active internet connection (broadband recommended). Easy to purchase (download) eBooks from online eBook stores such as 'CONNECT eBooks' to your computer.
