What to do with a seldom used PRS-300

jphphotography · 10-11-2011, 07:07 PM

I wound up winning a PRS-300 about 2 weeks after buying my Kindle 3G Graphire, initially I gave it to my girlfriend in hopes she'd get on the ebook bandwagon. Fast forward nearly a year and it just sits unused, aside from selling it (wouldn't get much) are there any neat hacks or anything I could do with it?

I keep up with the Kindle side on here more than the Sony side so I figured I'd post this question and see what the rest of you think.

Thanks,
James

I sold mine for $50 to a friend of mine for her daughter (who was jealous of Mom's eReader).

It's smaller, so not as heavy for little girl hands. But it's also relatively inexpensive in case the munchkin puts it face down in the bottom of her back pack and drops the back pack onto concrete or something.

You could look into installing PRS+, that would give it some extra functionality.

Thanks I'll look into this PRS+

I don't know if I'd be able to get even $50 for it but I guess I could try putting an ad on Kijiji and see if there are any takers.

Cheers,
James
