I'm going back to a sony 505 as well. I had sold mine but on the plus side I will be buying a blue one instead of silver this time around so I am happy about that.

I am very unhappy about amazon's behavior but its kind of the last straw. There were other reasons I was thinking about not keeping it including ghosting of the top and bottom all the time and not finding it comfortable to hold. The case I have weighs 6 ounces and for me personally holding a kindle in a case and having it feel like a hardback is just too heavy for me. My sony in its very light cover felt much better to me. Also library books are important to me and I feel eventually amazon will just pressure overdrive to not allow the pids at all. Also book prices I have really noticed have spiked 50%. Only about 1 in 10 of my wishlist new releases are even 9.99, most are around $15. Well I could pay that at the sony store!

So its going back and will be ordering another 505 this weekend.
