My 16 y/o sister-in-law who lives with us wants a Reader of her own. She 'borrowed' my wife's Reader for over a week before my wife demanded it back. She just asked to borrow it again and was told no.

We had planned on getting her one for Hanukkah this year but I don't know if we can justify the $300 for a new PRS-505. I was looking on eBay at the auctions for the PRS-500s which are a good bit cheaper (but not a lot). I was wondering if it would be a big difference for her to get used to from using a 505 to using a 500.

BTW, I do want stick with Sony since I have all of our books on my copy of Calibre.

Advice? Anybody want to part with a working 500 for cheap? LOL
