This is great information because I am looking into buying the 650 but now I see that it does not even come with a basic cover like my 505. One question I have is whatever happened with the covers that were beong made with platic on screen with light in it. I have this cover with my PRS 505 and I love having this light so I had no gooseneck light haging above the reader.

The light cover was the PRSA-CL1. The only reason I can think of is because it may have caused some eye strain such as LED screens cause but I never had any issues with it. Thanks for everyones input on the new cover with light and yes, it is overpriced as well as reader because I paid 300.00 for my 505 but at least it had a basic cover to start with and there were less competitors at that time. I still love the quality of the Sony eReaders but the others are compelling with the features offered. I am still a diehard Sony eReader but Sony may loose some of its reader due to price and options.
