The PRS-500 Portable Reader System from Sony offers a convenient digital reading experience. Instead of an LCD screen, it uses something called e-paper, just like reading the ink from a real book, optimal viewing angles, perfect contrast and crispness, with absolutely no eye-strain.

The screen is a 6" SVGA 800x600 gray scale display, with an overall size of 6.9 x 4.9 x 0.5 in. And it only weighs 9 oz., same as your average paperback. Expect to get around 15-20 hours of battery power, or around 7,500 page turns.

And as a bonus, register for your on-line CONNECT e-book end user account and authorize this Sony reader before July 31st 2007, and receive $149 worth of eBooks courtesy of Sony.

Please remember that this item is Brand New and Unopened.

Unlike other sellers, I use one of these daily and I'll share tips on how to correctly format ebooks, activate your promotional credits and answer any other questions.

I'm looking to get $240 shipped(might be more to Canada).
