However, an update inadvertently taken now prevents me from accessing the site to purchase books, and Sony's only solution is to re-load, lose my library, then have to reload each book. I find this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~445381316228 Sat, 20 Sep 2008 18:06:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_445381316228?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_413700296324?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author redaqen - I... am a geek. Instead of wanting fancy game consoles or expensive clothing, I begged my parents for the Reader when it first came out in 2006. Upon receiving it, I promptly declared my undying love for the device before stashing it away in my drawer... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~413700296324 Mon, 7 Jan 2008 18:31:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_413700296324?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_413284208260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author treegal - I had a Sony Reader for exactly one week before a huge white strip appeared down the center of it, making it impossible to read anything. I promptly sent it back (assuming the warranty would cover it) only to have Sony tell me that it was "physical... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~413284208260 Fri, 4 Jan 2008 18:28:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_413284208260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_404700630660?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author racoontoo - I ran across a review of the Sony PRS-500 a couple of months ago. Since I travel a lot for business it seemed like a wonderful "toy" for all the reading I do, both fiction and business materials. I was in Costa Mesa, California for business when I read... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~404700630660 Wed, 3 Oct 2007 11:45:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_404700630660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_403241602692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author leigh_campbell - Three service center returns later it looks like the battery life is (with current firmware version): 4 weeks. I've discussed this with two different service engineers at Sony RRC and it looks like the CPU continues to run some idle process even when... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403241602692 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 15:19:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_403241602692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_401177939588?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author popvoid - Okay, first off, although the Sony PRS-500 Reader can play music just like any other MP3 Player, it would be a mistake to call this an MP3 player (the use of this name on epinions made it very hard to locate here). The Sony PRS-500 is an ebook reader... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~401177939588 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 14:57:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_401177939588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_400596897412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mrkstvns - When I was growing up, my daddy always used to tell me, "If at first you don't succeed, maybe it's because you're meant to fail." Sony could stand to learn that lesson. They've gone down the e-book path before. And they've failed before.

While the screen does NOT look like print-on-page as they bill it, it is much closer to print than it is to a regular lcd screen. Range of view is excellent - similar to regular paper. The screen... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~354577780356 Sat, 28 Apr 2007 14:35:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_354577780356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_354165427844?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cglc - I recently purchased the Reader after being initially put off by the mixed reviews and cost. A recent promotion allowed a $50 credit for the Connect ebooks, so I took the plunge. This is a great device as long as you understand that it is designed... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~354165427844 Fri, 27 Apr 2007 16:32:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_354165427844?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_335630667396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lbucher - If you read only ebooks, go for it. The electronic paper is the only technology that actually looks best in the bright, sunny outdoors. Reading poolside or on the beach might be better than a real paperback. Inside it's a little dark, but fine with a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~335630667396 Mon, 19 Mar 2007 18:45:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_335630667396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_321888358020?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tracicollins - Over the years I have tried to find an e-book reader that lived up to the Dynabook vision of one device which could provide ubiquitous access to all of my books where ever I happened to be - the ultimate paperback.

In fact, I tend to read 2-3 books at any given time. I'll read sales related books, spiritual books, and a good fiction book going between a few books at a time by mood. Years ago when I got my first Palm Pilot,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~299534290564 Sun, 31 Dec 2006 07:28:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_299534290564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_296027197060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rcbarker - I got mine last week, and spent the last two days using it ( in the house due to a blizzard), I love it. Even after two days use, the power bar has not moved off full, and the screen is great.

The ability to carry hundreds of books with you anywhere in the world in such a tiny device is great ! The screen is gorgeous. Easy to read even in broad daylight.

I love it! It's like reading on paper. I really like being able to "Cut and paste" articles from the web for later reading. The Connect store "just works". I am very happy with the Connect store. It is still a bit... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~279454977668 Wed, 15 Nov 2006 20:26:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/review/Sony_Electronic_Portable_Reading_System_Hard_Drive/content_279454977668?linkin_id=8003929
