No, don't do that! Lend it to a reading friend who hasn't yet discovered the joys of ebooks, and you'll have a convert
On a more serious note: Is the sharper screen alone worth the upgrade from a 650? I'm using my trusty old 650 as well, about two years in. I like buying new stuff (well, I don't particularly like *paying* for it, but whatever), but the 650 does what it does so well that the only compelling reason for an upgrade would be a significantly crisper screen. Without having seen the supposedly superior PRS-T2, I'm very happy with the 650 as is. I have not had the ghosting issue I've seen people complain about.
I don't really need the WiFi or social features of the PRS-T2, I almost exclusively read epub novels on my reader. Onenote looks nice, on the other hand I don't even have a Facebook account. My battery life is down to about a week of usage (from more than two weeks when new), but that really isn't an issue. Imagine that Sony made a device (650) that's so good it precludes upgrading to a newer model... Could anyone supply other compelling excuses for upgrading?
