All right... I've been searching this forum a bit about reactions to the MP3 player on the 505, and almost all I can find are cautionary tales of how horrible it is, how it'll suck out your battery life, ruin your battery permanently, freeze your reader, kill your neighbor's cat, make the dinosaurs extinct (again) and, generally, ruin your life.
OK, I know that if I want a good MP3 player, I should buy an MP3 player instead. I'm buying a reader and that is its primary purpose. It's just a nice convenience if I don't have to carry
another device with me everywhere all the time.
I understand that using the MP3 player on my eBook reader will drain the battery at least twice as fast and probably more than twice as fast. I don't mind recharging the darn thing every day.
But still, the question remains... does
anyone routinely listen to music on their 505 without catastrophic results?
