I have searched the forums but I couldn't find anyone asking this same question.

I am considering buying a 505 to replace my 500 (which I love, but the screen tends to give me a headache after a short time and I think the improved screen of the 505 will help a lot with that)
My question is this, having gone through a few upgrades on other devices about half of which allowed and half didn't will the e-book purchases I made for the 500 (at the connect store) work on the 505 when I activate/register it and will I have to de-activate the 500 first?

I like to think that they will (much like Apple allows in Itunes) but I have come across other devices (which shall not be named) where the purchases are tied to a specific DEVICE and not a user account.

Anyone who upgraded care to let me know?

Thanks,

-John
