Criteria Comments Rating
  • Display / readability low light readability lags behind the Pearl eink panel, but definitely adequate and joyful in day light. Refresh rate is OK but somewhat limited by the CPU. good
  • Battery life not impressive comparing to kindle3 or nook touch, about one week heavy reading. For me it is long enough. so-so
  • Store and selection of titles newer firmware adds support for non DRM ePUB. I sideload most of my books and prs505 covers txt epub and PDF pretty good. so-so
  • Ease of use refresh rate on long txt is slow due to processing power or the lack of it. Txt font size change requires a reflow, painfully slow for long book. good
  • Document support No comments good
  • Storage capacity 256M on board is limiting, but with MS duo and SD dual cards support storage capacity is no problem at all great!
  • Durability No comments great!
  • Design and form factor Best design in the history in ereader, bar none. great!
  • Portability (size / weight) Smaller than kindle3. Perfect size and weight for hand held. great!
