So I had the 500 for 2 years before I bought a 505, in those 2 years, my 500 crashed _once_. battery life was excellent, and about the only thing that bothered me about it was significant ghosting.

Then I bought my 505. It crashes about once a week, just goes blank and reboots during a page change. This wouldn't be so bad if it didn't always forget which book I was reading and completely lose my place in it. Does anyone else have this problem? also, the battery life is significantly worse than my old 500. About half the life, in fact.

Ghosting is minor, and contrast is excellent. There's no way I could go back, but the constant crashing is pretty annoying.
