Sony PRS-505 Portable Digital e-Reader System (Silver)

This device is designed for people on the go, it's compelling because it allows you to carry a wide variety of reading materials whether you are on a cross-country flight, in a doctor's office waiting room, or at a beach resort.  The Reader can handle a stack of books and other documents that people would rather not carry, yet offers a 'book-like' reading experience unavailable with other electronic devices.  With the capacity to store up to 160 typical eBooks, the Reader can act as a mobile library.

Controls more closely mimic paper page turns and allow for quick, intuitive navigation.  Electronic paper display delivers faster response and a higher contrast ratio for easy reading even in bright sunshine.  Eight levels of gray scale provide for crisp and clear text, images, and graphics.
