So sorry to hear that you had bad luck, Chantal, to be honest, I was expecting that to happen to mine. Never mind, you've got your nice shiny T1 now. I'm particularly fond of the 505's and would rather not shell out for a new one as I'm on a tight budget and have 6 cats. Also, I haven't really seen any I like as much as the 505. This is why I went through the trauma of the battery change.
I hope you had all your books archived and not on your reader. Most of mine are on the SD card. Would hate to lose them. Perhaps you're more sensible and only keep your TBR books on the reader instead of a whole library.
Anyway, have fun with the T1, sorry about your 505. I hope my post didn't rub salt in your wounds.
