My PRS-900 has the same firmware as yours and the battery still is holding a charge well. I agree about the build quality but wish the screen was less reflective.
A black PRS-650 arrived today and even with transit time shows 4 bars on the battery charge. It looks to be in almost unused condition. I side loaded a bunch of photos and books to it and the screen is a lot better than the prior generation 600 and 900 readers, not nearly as reflective. Did Sony or a accessory manufacturer ever make a matte screen protector for the 600 or 900 that would reduce the reflectivity?
I now have one each of the last 4 generations of Sony readers, a 350, 650 and 950 as well as all three T series models. To me the x50 series were the last of the Sony classic readers with their metal covers and screwed together construction with the stylus storage slot built in.
