I started with a 505, replaced into the 600 series when I had a screen crack and replaced again to a 650 on another screen crack. The battery on my 650 is marginal now, so I'm giving serious consideration to replacement.
The more I think about it, though, the more I'm leaning towards going back to paper. (Not saying I will, as there are many things I love about the e-Ink experience not the least is the weight and that I can have 281 books and a host of magazines in one reader, and never came anywhere close to filling it.)
But the reality of the Sony closure makes it pretty clear to me that so long as eBooks are DRM-ridden and in proprietary formats, they aren't really my property, any more than the several hundred dollars worth of music I lost over the years due to DRM. So I'm not anxious to transfer my account to Kobo, nor am I anxious to keep using my Reader or purchase a replacement for it.
If I were to change, I would either purchase a Kindle if I really still want the e-Ink feel or I'd more likely invest in an iPad Air. (When I think about the number of re-purchases of Sony's I've made, I'm really on par with an iPad's price.)
