Hi All,

So my Sony PRS-505 is on its last legs (battery-wise), and it gives me an excuse to buy a new eReader.

Unfortunately, I'm stuck as to which one to get.

The "logical" choice is for me to get a PRS-650....except for the fact that it's hard to find and seems to mostly be only available in red (and I'm not really that fond of that color. Heck, I'm not even that fond of the black). So, I tried out the PRS-350...and it's just a bit too small. The PRS-950 is just a bit too big (I have small hands). I looked at the Kindle...and it feels a bit too flimsy. I don't really want the Nook (I prefer the e-ink and longer battery life).

Give my preferences...are there any other options out there for me? Should I just get past the aesthetics and get the PRS-650? Or have you found that you "adapted" to having a larger/smaller Reader?

Thanks!
