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? |
I don't think there's much chance of it being retired, Mum has her eye on it. That didn't take long!
Yes, for me it is worth the upgrade. It's quicker & I think it's smoother. I don't use the social functions on it, but the access to my State library via wifi is pretty useful, when I'm in Macdonalds or my local cafe that has wifi, not sure if it'll work when travelling out of my home state, can't see why not.
I love my 650, but looks like Mum will 'acquire' it. Another convert
Happy thinking. Hope you can find someone to buy it for you
