Sony Reader Digital Book PRS 505 Review: It’s a lightweight and portable gadget. Needless to say, if you love reading but hate bringing the whole library with you (lol!), this tool is for you. It is cheap and a great value for your hard-earned money. The only downside of this digital reader is its low capability to read PDF files unlike Kindle 2.0 which has proven its strength in reading many document file formats.
