Sony PRS-500 was released in 2006 and cost $350.
That is equivalent to $500 today (three months ago, really) - adjusted for inflation.
It had metal body and integrated cover and it was a premium device.
If a reader cost $500 today, you would expect it to last a long time and you would treat and handle it differently from a $90 Kindle basic.
