Moderately impressive explostion from the past
Its got great finish, pretty legible text and just looks ritzy. I have had a great time reading with this so far. Moreover a lot of these weren't used at all. You can get a 15 year old ereader that no one used. I get this feeling that mom and dad often tucked these away in their closets after their well meaning children left on december 26th. The flaw back when was its not a kindle. Today's flaw is its 15 years old and the ui is very clunky for 2022. Its also ever so slightly heavy because its aluminum and not plastic but that feels negligible to me. Oh and no wifi/bluetooth.Verified purchase: Yes

Sony e-reader new opened box
Sony prs505, new opened box Can't install the wizzard nor the eBook library. I can't install books from internet, cde-rom or computer. The screen has several horizontal and vertical stripes and the battery doesn't charge ( no battery ). So this e-reader is worthless.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not hurrying e-reader with a better screen
IMHO model long ago obsolete,but so far no one has done a better screen. ascetic design, durable aluminum body,large number of firmware upgrades,long battery life. Possible disadvantages: slowly indexes downloaded books,txt sometimes you have to wait 5 minutes but no problem with .epub or .lrf .The relatively low weightVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good entry level ereader
I needed an ereader without wifi or touchscreen (I work in a call center taking payments), and after some research fount the PRS 505. I think it's a great, cheap ereader. The unit I bought was in almost perfect condition. All of the buttons work fine, the screen doesn't have any dead pixels, the usb and charging cables connect with a satisfying click. My biggest complaint is that it doesn't have a backlight so I can't read in the dark.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

SONY READER
As this is the 5th or 6th reader I have had (all sonny's), I knew what to expect! They always meet and often exceed my expectations. I am a voracious reader, often reading 3 or 4 books in a week. I like the fact that I always have plenty of reading material. The amount of reading material that is available for the different Sony Readers is staggering. Public libraries offer free reading materials. There are several clubs that offer free material or books at a very low price. I would highly recommend this product to anyone that likers to read!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Sony Reader and cover
I purchased this because I needed a new cover for my Sony Reader which is at least 4 or 5 years old. The cover was like new I am very happy with it. The reader has a bad screen but after charging it, it started up so I will save if for parts if my original reader breaks. My review is based on my original reader.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

PRS-505
One of the first readers, and still the best, in my opinion. It only uses power when a page is turned, so the battery will last several books.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
