thanks for your replies. Actually my gf already has a jetbook and shes happy with it. The only problem with it is when you read it under the hot Singapore sun, the black jetbook absorbs the heat and the letters start to dance around a bit (this is a known problem mentioned in some other topics here). So I was just THINKING about getting her an e-ink device, and since she would most likely use it only when she's out, the poor contrast probably wouldn't look to bad.

Anyway, I did not know the 500 was still so hot on ebay. Either that or people didn't do their homework before bidding because most of the used 500s I bid for went up to around $170. That should be the price for a use 505!
