the e-ink screen on my original sony prs-500 is really dark and ghosting badly when you turn pages...to the point of being unreadable. the battery was replaced 7 years ago and still going strong, but i rarely turn it on due to the screen issue.

but the prs-350 still works fine. the weak point (for me) on this device is the stylus. the top part of the stylus broke (and is missing), so if i insert the stylus into the reader, it's a task to bring it out again. my solution was to insert the stem of a q-tip into the hollow tube that is the body of the stylus, then cut the q-tip to the length to allow easy removal of the stylus. works but doesn't look very good.

and my original nook glowlight plus (2015 version) is still working like new.
