The screen is really, REALLY broken. I'm having withdrawal symptoms. Now I'm torn between going out and buying something right away and waiting for info on the new Sonys to firm up.

Can anyone recommend a "Piece-o-crap" reader that can handle non DRM epubs that sells for REAL cheap? Or would some junk cost as much as a PRS300? I saw them new on the internet for $129 USD this afternoon.

Maybe I should just buy a new battery for my old Treo 700P. As eReaders went, it was sure small.

Aside from Sony's incredibly awful software and careless ebook store, its lack of buttproofing, and its occasional odd behavior, I kind of liked my PRS-300. It was small and compact and didn't get in the way of my reading. I'd consider the new 350 if I like what I hear about it and didn't take too long to get to market.

What would you guys do?
