I have only just found these forums so my first post..

I purchased a Sony PRS-500 on a business trip to USA in early 2007. Recently I have noticed that I am getting less and less page turns on a battery charge (I use the mains charger and have checked that I get the full 5.2 V dc). If not used then the battery self discharges in about 10 days. Obviously the battery is reaching the end of its life.

My questions are:
Is the battery replacable or does it require Sony attention?
Anyone any idea of the cost of battery replacement?
With the PRS-505 available from Waterstones, are there any major improvements from 500 to 505?

Regards
