Both of my Sonys worked as they were supposed to right out of the box, and continue to do so.
Additionally, both Sonys got/get a lot of use by me. I tend to read on the {snip} (and before that the 505) not less than 3-4 hours a day, every day, plus I take it with me whenever we go shopping, to the doctor, to any place where I'll have some time to sit and read while waiting.

500, 505 and now 650. Each has been and is my second best friend.
