Yes, you can. Earlier today, I went to the Sony Style store in Manhattan and traded my old beat-up PRS-500 for a PRS-650 ($142 total, including tax).
Interestingly enough, I find myself unhappy with my new reader and thinking about switching to a Nook wifi instead. I feel the handwriting tool on the PRS-650 isn't as responsive as I would have hoped; my normally great handwriting looks sloppy on the screen. Notes are only useful if you can read them. I haven't tried downloading notes yet, but it strikes me that if I will be looking at them on a computer screen, it might be more useful to have typewritten notes. Plus, I don't like the steps involved in starting a note or highlight (as I understand it, on a Kindle you just start typing and it goes to "note mode").
A Nook wifi can be purchased for under $99 shipped right now, and having the ability to read nytimes and some of my favorite blogs on an eink screen sounds sweeter than what I have now...
