My 505 has finally reached the point where I feel it's time to replace it, the upper corner broke in the sun, while I was reading, now the screen is getting vertical bars, the battery only lasts a day and a bit, the cover has large burn marks from hot scale when I'd read in school during heats, the time the metal is in the forge. I was at a blacksmithing school at the time.
I've read at least a few hundred books on it, many from here, a few from fictionwise.
I'm now a university student, in photography which normally means a tight enough budget, however I'm also doing a project/trip right now which means the budget is even tighter.
I'm riding an older(1979 CX500) motorcycle from Vancouver to Argentina and doing a website of photos/blog on the way, if I can figure out how and people want to read it, I'm hoping to make an ebook at the end of it.
my blog is up at

My only requirment is screen size, at least as big as the 505.
main features I think are:
usb charging.
be nice if I didn't need to charge off the laptop, and just use any powered usb port but I do have one if needed.
No touch screen, the extra battery consumption and blurriness doesn't seem worth it. Unless it's gotten much better since the first generation of Sony ones.
Epub compatibility, PDF as well would be nice
SD card compatibility would be great, I use it to preview photo's or with photos of maps on walls etc for places that don't give out maps.
but isn't essential.
