Our last 505 is leaving today. I bought myself a 505 through Amazon for $260 and my wife's at Borders for $300 back when it was the current model. When I broke my screen I upgraded to a 650 and I got my wife a 950 when they were on clearance at Best Buy. She held onto her 505 since it was such a great device.
We were trying to figure out a present for my mother this holiday season and since she is the one who gave me my love of reading, the 505 got passed on to her. I loaded it up with all of her favorite authors and gave it to her along with an official Sony charger and an M-Edge Platform Jacket. She was thrilled.
Now that I have my 650 and the wife has her 950, we don't feel the need to upgrade. I just need to make sure that if the 650 gets broken, it is in the next year or so before the accidental replacement plan expires.
