If I had 20 hands I would still have extra eReaders – just too many. Somehow I'll find new homes for many of these. But they'll go out clean, updated and factory reset. So far, I haven't gotten a Sony with a bad battery. I think that's pretty amazing considering that the 505s are about nine years old.

I really like the 505s. And, when using the dark Constantia font, the display is amazing considering the age of the device. I didn't know you could get lighted cases for the 505s (I would have probably been better off not knowing.)

I have a working T3 and a T1 that's banged up but usable, and don't plan on acquiring any more anytime soon.
I have way too much other stuff in my life though.... |
I think he's looking for something newer for his mom. As for having too much "other stuff," I'm not going to get started on my mechanical pencil collection. Nothing special about the ones I have, I just like the older ones (but I inherited this particular "sickness" from by brother). Many of them were made by a Japanese company named Kotobuki (even though they were sold under other brand names). I never heard of Kotobuki, but they hold more mechanical pencil patents than any other company in the world and used to make just about all of the Sanford, Berol and PaperMate pencils – even some of the Pentels and Pilots.
Well, I'm not totally stupid. I finally figured out how the multi-quote thingy works. I think I'll go rest on my laurels for a while.
