Best Accessories for Sony Reader: What accessories would you recommend for the Sony Reader 505?
929358
I would have to say that the most important accessory to me is the wall charger. I realize one can charge the PRS-505 using the USB cable but it seems much slower to reach a full charge. Also, the AC adapter allows me to charge when I'm on the road and don't have my laptop with me. For auxiliary lighting, of the 505 screen (yes, the 505 has the better screen), just get one of these inexpensive book lights at your nearest Barnes and Noble or B-A-M. I recommend one of the flat folding models such as the LED or Design GO models. They put out a good, even light with two levels of brightness. They clip easily to the top of the Reader's cover nicely. Perhaps the nicest accessory though, is the line of leather jackets from M-edge. On sale now at a meticulously low price, they are extremely well made, beautiful, and offer added padding for your Reader. They come in a variety of colors and have inside pockets for memory cards, business cards, etc. They also have a nice strap that keeps the cover closed when not in use. Very nice.

Hi, unfortunately this device does not have lighting. But you can buy a clip light and attach it to the reader. I love the Sony reader. I also own 2 nook colors, 2 nook hd's, a mini dell, and a lap top. But my little sony reader is my favorite. It's small, it holds plenty of books, you can add your top reading books, and you can take it any where to read. I just love mine. I almost didn't buy it because of no lighting. But I bought it any way and I am so glad I did!! That little sony reader comes every where with me! I hope this helps.I know I was confused before buying it. But then I was like, why not buy it? If I don't like it I can sell it. Hi, unfortunately this device does not have lighting. But you can buy a clip light and attach it to the reader. I love the Sony reader.

The Sony ECMHW1 works really well, but the receiver slides on the camera's hot shoe. I don't know if the 505 has a hot shoe.

I know it's probably too late for the person who asked this; but for anyone else with the same question...I think giving any of the Kindle e-readers (not necessarily the kindle fire 'tablets') would be a better idea...they are CHEAPER, and they'll be much more versatile. Not only can you install a Bible on them, they can hold virtually thousands of other books!! I have owned this particular item AND I've had a Kindle touch; the latter was cheaper, lasted longer and was sooooo much more versatile! (I do not have any connection or work with Amazon)

you can buy micro sd card with any type adapter to plug into a reader or computer slot no big deal

This board isn't the best place for questions about Sony readers, I think a better place is MobileRead forums, just search on Google, it'll pop up.

I'd agree about calibre. Just google it and you'll find it. It is fantastic and really great at doing the news thing. I wake up each morning, and my Sony reader is automatically synced and ready for me to read the news of my choosing.

Sorry really don't know. If you go to the Sony website and click on your camera they will show you what accessories will work with the camera. Hope this helps

yes. I love my sony ereader for it's ability to read any .pdf or epub file, etc. I have so many books in these formats. I've had one since 2009 (this is my 2nd) and I love love it...for purely reading books and the wireless ability, it is amazing...I like to keep my books and it appears to hold them all!

Sorry but I do know. I bought an adapter to fit a 3.5 inch card reader in one slot. I do know that it seems to be made to fit any slot of that type. Please note that it requires a special power plug adapter to use.

On the sony website when the e-reader is described they indicate that you can access 500,000 free books from google ebook website. Can you tell me whether you have tried this and if it works?

you could try sandisk.com- they sell a lot of accessories, etc... themselves. My internet is currently funky and I can't get the site to load...

Any current card reader (new as in 2008 to now) that says memory stick or has the Sony trade mark "m" on it.

Heres a link to the web site that Sandisk recomends to buy products for your player. In fact--it is important to use one of the listed sites that Sandisk has partnered with for accessories. Had to do this myself this week :)http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Catalog(1200)-Made_for_Sansa_Accessories.aspx

No Problem, there is a lip that you set tablet or kindle on, then adjust the level/height you want for viewing/reading. Karen
