"If you are of the mind that technology should make life easier or more efficient, then chances are you'll love Reader Plates..."  --AOPA Pilot Magazine, November 2008

Reader Plates are downloadable FAA (NACO) Terminal Approach Procedures formatted for display on the Sony Reader PRS-505.

Now an instrument-rated private pilot can carry every approach plate for every airport in the US in a 9 ounce electronic book reader. It's inexpensive, easy to use, and will run for days on a single charge.
