Thanks for posting some new pics. My problem isn't nearly as bad as that, but I'm afraid the dust will keep accumulating like yours did.

I'm going go phone Sony sometime this week and see what they have to say about it and what options I have. The guarantee mentions repairs or refurbished parts; I would like to request a new one if that's possible. I really don't want to give it up and have to wait months to get a replacement. I have really babied this one, like I have said; it has never left my bedside more than a few feet to the PC.

I've only had it 5 months, and am reluctant to let them try and fix it and make things even worse.

Best of luck on #3.

WDE.

Wetdogeared, have you already contacted Sony about the dust spots? Did you contact the Coquitlam depot or just go to a retail store? I got my 700 less than two months ago and had noticed a bright speck when the light was on but hoped that I wouldn't get the dreaded dust spots. Unfortunately, it's just gotten worse! I don't read too much with the side-lights on but when I do, the dust spots are apparent. I'm really eager to hear what your experience with Sony will be like as I'm VERY reluctant to part with my reader for even a day.
