I purchased a PRS 900 in December, 2009, for $ 400. It is now totally obsolete since the Kindle LG WiFi 3 is in a totally different universe.

I had given my Sony PRS 505 to my granddaughter for her birthday last May. I offered my PRS 900 to my daughter for one of her kids to use or sell on eBay. So far, she told me to just "hold on to it." I unregistered it at the Sony store.

I may give it to one of my son's kids for Christmas.

Obsolesence in eReaders is really disastrous and costly. LOL.

It looks like my new K3 will be obsolete in 12 months maximum. That is now a hidden cost factor which few previously anticipated.
