Best bet - act now before 11/27 and go to a retail Sonystyle store. Trade in your 505 for $75 credit toward a new one -- now at reduced prices. The new Model 650 will cost about $125 and will give a much nicer screen than the 505.

good luck! |
Thanks for the suggestion and welcome, changing the screen looks straightforward, its just a case of unpluging the ribbon cable and inserting the replacement, I dont think the tradin that you mention applies in the UK but I wouldnt have done that anyway since ereaders with colour inks will be coming on the market in the new year
