I can't express how depressed I am at the moment. Yesterday, I sold my spare PRS-600 on Amazon. Then, a few hours later, an accident occurred where this is the result:

Buying a replacement PRS-950 seems out of the question since Sony doesn't seem to make them anymore, I don't see refurbished models available from them, and a brand new one from elsewhere will run me $100 more than I paid in the first place. I can't imagine spending almost $400 for this device... (And to be honest, I sold another device to pay for this one at the time and only really paid $50... :/)

I am going to pick up the box/docs from storage today to see what the manufacturer warranty covers, but I know they won't cover an accident. At least I can get the number to call to see how much the repair would be, but that will probably not be possible any longer or just wayyyy too much money.

So, now I am stuck. I really like Sony and they only sell the T1, which has a 1 inch smaller display, I will need to buy a microSD card to replace my regular one and then I will need a new case since my 950 case won't fit.

Bah. I'm sad. The new Kindle Touch and current Nook Touch don't compare.

Cry with me, friends.
