Upgrading from a PRS-505
Hi guys,

Looking for a little advice on updating my ereader, I currently have a Sony prs-505 which I've had for some years

Things I hate about the 505

- glossy screen
- no dictionary

Things I love

- build quality (it really does work the same now as it did the day I bought it)
- case quality (again it's like it's new)

Things I would like
- a clearer screen (I believe it's called Pearl now?) it must be e-ink I can't read on LCD screens

Things I don't need
-3G
-any extra 'features' eg audio playback, pictures text to speech I want it to read books and look up stuff I don't know

I will consider anything from any of the companies and will be buying closer to Xmas time so the prs-t1 isn't out of the question. Though the glossy plastic is a con.

ability to further expand from the dictionary to Wikipedia would be a pro, aslong as it's actually usable (ie not slower that getting up and grabbing the iPad.

Cheers in advance

Richie
