Which model is this, 500 or 505? Can anyone tell me if this is the original 500 or the slightly updated 505? Thanks.

By the picture attached I'd say the 505.. But anyway they got so many things wrong, it can be anything at all (for example the screen is eInk, not LCD).Also considering Amazon will probably launch their own reader (Kindle?) I don't see Amazon selling the Sony Reader in the near future.

Hi. This is the 505. If you read my review, you will notice that my first comment is regarding how difficult it is to find it in amazon.com as "Sony Reader 505". I searched in way too many sites and finally I found it in amazon as "ebook reader 6IN". come on !!!... I wonder why Amazon is trying to hide it from us. Could it be that they dont'want competition? If anyone knows let me know.... enrique (very happy Sony reader owner for 3+ months with 3+ books already finished - Sony store and PDFs)

Well I managed to get this one changed to the correct product name (using the 'update product info' link). The silver version still hasn't updated yet, but if they fixed this one, I'd assume that one will be fixed soon also.

Note that in "Product Details" it says "Item model number: PRS505LC." I'm a pretty happy PRS-500 user, early adopter. I'm generally happy with my -500, but there's some room for improvement.

The 500 and the 590 are the same, just a different tubular magazine and barrel but same action. I hope I cleared up any confusion.

The 505N is a newer model. A smaller tip can be better depending on what the project is.

I found this answer on the Internet..... The NAVS501 is a follow-up to the slightly less expensive NAVS500 kit, with the only difference between the two being support for 3D and multiple transmitters on the 501. Otherwise, both units support the same wireless range and WHDI technology, and both have a USB port that can be used to connect the wireless receiver for a keyboard/mouse to control a desk top PC remotely. This means that in terms of overall performance, the 500 and 501 perform the same.

Well, I'm still interested in buying but for no more than $435. I can live with what I got so far. For the same current price I will be able to buy a new model, whenever it comes out. Just not worth paying full retail for a not the latest model.

Yes, this the same one. My wife is the one who did the research and found this model listed here on Amazon for a better price than other retailers. I'm very happy with it so far.

970 (I had to look) I have the original that's 1000. It's been fabulous though --I wasn't sure which one was even the new one until I looked for you -- they are interchangeable. I bought a knock off brand once and it was terrible. It had maybe 1/4 of the life. This one, as I said I couldn't even tell the difference.

As far as i can tell, this one is just the older version that's been discontinued. The 931014 is newer, maybe has a few small visual changes but all the bits are the same.

Pat- It's the new one. The original is over $100, but still being sold. :-(

I agree, this is a new model, even I was confused with it. Hopefully Amazon.com will correct it.

I have the 521. I am not sure if there is a difference between the 520 and 521. Try contacting the seller

HELEN My answer would be to call the store of your provider. Ask them for the actual model number. That is one way to go. The other would be the one that could work out or not. Go ahead and order it and hope for the best. The latter is really not a good idea at all. Make the call. You can even try and get the information online. Usually if I can't get the right answer I will track down the 1-800 number and just call them directly. That is why they are there. Good luck. I hope that I have helped you out. Try the store level and work backwards. I hope you get your help your in need of. Let me know how you make out.

The picture is clearly the new model. This is misleading if people are getting the older model. The current model is a significant improvement. This posting should be reported to Amazon, as the picture is luring people into thinking this is the current model.

Just bought one at Costco, days later they are out until November! Model number is MMF07 as is the one offered on the manufacturer's website so I think it's safe to assume it's the MMF07 is the current and this 2012 MMF06 is the immediate predecessor. I'm recommending it to a friend who didn't get to Costco soon enough.

Looks exactly the same. Probably different sellers putting it as different names to their models. If you go on to the web site and click on one, then open anothe page and look at the second. They are exactly the same, same size, same model, same colour. Get the cheaper one and save yourself money. If there is a new and used one, get the new one.

I recall when I bought my 9001 a newer version was also available. The newer one didn't seem to be any better than mine other than it was a slightly better looking unit. I don't remember other details other than aesthetics. I love my 9001.

I just looked on the Safety 1st website and this looks like it is a current model. The actual seller would be the one to contact about when it was manufactured, however. If you are worried you can always buy directly from Safety 1st. It is currently listed there for a few dollars more (probably plus shipping costs, as well). Or you could find a store to buy from.
