Hello all,

I currently have a sony PRS-505 since february 2008. It has served me VERY well and i still love to use it, but i am thinking about going for something a little more "modern" or updated" like the PRS-T1.

Now, my question, is it really worth it or not? I currently only use my sony reader for.. well, reading, and i dont really have a need for Wifi or any other fancy features. The only thing i dont like about the PRS-505 is the button layout, i feel like the kindle buttons for changing pages are really good (the ones on the sides), but the kindle doesnt support EPUB without conversion, so i was thinking maybe the touch screen could be very nice feature to use.

Also, saddly, there are no cases that can be attached to the main body of the reader, as in the PRS-505, i think it is because it is made of plastics, while the 505 is completelly metallic.
