Sony doesn't read HTML. I've been coping with "doesn't read HTML natively," but that doesn't mean I'm happy to stick with it. And while I could cope with a touch screen, I definitely don't want one.

The 350 does look like what's easily available and closest to what I want. Which annoys me, because it's downgrading; it'd involve losing features I like in order to get bells-and-whistles I don't care about.

I may hold out for one of the Jinke devices, either a Pocket Pro from ebay (they show up now & then) or the Bebook Mini; I'm trying to decide if I'm willing to pay the international shipping-etc. charges for one.

After talking with my husband, it's possible that the battery in my 505 is dying, and that replacing it might fix the slow navigation that's annoying me enough to look for a replacement.
