Sony Reader PRS-505 Double Function
02 May 2009Here’s a little tip for anyone who owns a Sony PRS-505 eBook reader. It has a couple of expansion slots on it for an SD card and a Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo, and whilst these are intended to allow you to expand the number of books you can carry around there’s a bit of extra functionality you can draw upon here.
Most users of the PRS-505 will charge it from their PC through the
mini-USB connection. Now if you’re quite mobile you’ll probably charge
it from your laptop. The PRS-505 however appears as a mass storage
device when you connect it to your PC and this means that the expansion
slots also appear as storage devices on your PC. In Windows this means
you will see three drives - one for the PRS-505’s onboard memory and one
for each of the two expansion slots.
So if you don’t have built in card readers on your PC, the PRS-505 gives you access to these types of cards. Handy in a pinch - maybe?
