Hi, I've been away for a bit. I've been extremely happy with my PRS-505. Unfortunately, the battery gave out. I sent it to Sony back in May to have the battery replaced. They have finally admitted they do not have a replacement battery, so have offered me a refurbished 650 for $99. I took them up on it. I really haven't been following anything about the 650 (since our local Sony Style store closed!) but now I see that it's far superior to the 600, and really hard to come by.

So I'm assuming this was a good deal?

I've been reading back through a bunch of the 650 threads, and I have a question. (Sorry, I searched, I did!) I've seen a lot of references to the mini-USB plug. So am I correct in understanding that the USB cord from the 505 will not work on the 605? What about the mains wall plug? I've seen people mention a Blackberry plug working with it, but does the plug from the 505 work with it? I'm guessing not, as the pictures I'm seeing makes it look like there's no place to plug it. So is it a USB adapter that I need? Any specific type? Thanks for any info you can give me!
