Exactly. I love my 505, not ready to trade that sucker in, no 650s readily available anyway. My battery, thankfully, is keeping up. It's just that I haven't been tempted by any other reader until now!

Do you use store books on the 2 cards? I wonder if that consumes more of the battery. My reader is always on and it is full of books. I have to charge it every 3 days, the bar goes down. I use to get almost 1-2 weeks.

Is the 350 a move up from the 505? Does it have more storage, is the contrast better? It doesn't have the cards like the 505 I don't think. I haven't looked at any of the new readers, only online.

How long have you had your 505, and do you use the cards for storage? I use my 505 every night for 1-2 hours. I have had mine I think for almost 2 years now. My 2 cards are used and maybe that wore my battery out. |

I do want to upgrade my 505 to the 950, but I'm not giving it up... I'm much too attached to it. I will likely pass it along to my husband.

The 505 is an older model reader with an excellent eink screen. The new pearl eink screens were released this year and are used in the new model sonys and kindles.
In november all the sonys where on sale and since then the 350 has bounced between $149 and $179. Sony has done a poor job in releasing the new models but sales have still exceeded their expectations. |

That's how I feel about my 505. Actually, my original blue 505 got cracked and although I had already owned a few other readers, I wanted my first love, so I bought a sangria red replacement. I can't bring myself to sell it, but I can bring myself to give it to my sister and let her love the heck out of it like I did.

I am not going to use the $75 for my 505. I still like the reader and just like most folks here we are addicted to ereaders! More toys. Anyone have an opinion on the Kindles? I do have epubs so I would have some trouble getting those on the Kindle wouldn't I? I use Calibre, but not as much knowledge as some here on good conversions.
