I sent my PRS-505 in for what I thought was going to be an exchange with another 505, but Sony doesn't have a pile of refurb'd 505s handy. They are offering up a Black or Red PRS-650 for $99.

I already have a new Nook (Simple Touch) and only wanted the repaired 505 for my wife to use or possibly to sell off in good working order. Since getting a repaired 505 isn't an option, I'd like to know if folks think $99 for the 650 is a good deal, whether I decide to keep the 650 or sell it off.

With the price pressure coming from the $139 Nook or the $114 Kindle/Special-Offers I don't want to throw $99 at a 650 and then take a loss on it if I resell it in the next few weeks.

Thanks,
