The future is here. Words are painted on to the screen of the PRS-500 with electronic ink so that images will appear much like they do on a traditional book. The gray-scale screen is the culmination of many year's of work by E Ink Corp. and hopes to provide an alternative to paper. Especially useful for those morning train commutes.

I just love this device, been using it since the first day it came out, and will be upgrading to the PRS-505 in January.

I am seriously considering the purchase of this device. I am a ravish reader and I am sure this product will facilitate my hobby. I am going to search the china market first!
