Fix/rebuy/upgrade?

Hello all,

I have been a lurker here for a long time and owned a prs 500, which I adored. It developed severe screen issues (one half freezes all black) which I could not fix with resets. I am an ebook addict now and it was probably the only thing aside from audiobooks on the ipod which help me sleep

My major question is about whether to upgrade or not. It will cost me 250 to have Sony fix the reader, let alone shipping from the UK. I prefer that to replacing with another auction model which can jack in anytime.

Have people had good experiences moving from 500 to 505 or 700? As a leftie I found the 500 ideal but would love to hear from people about if they have upgraded and enjoy it more. I love my gadgets but in this case not into upgrading for the sake of it, for once lol.

I do not need a dictionary or images. But definitely interested in if people have found an upgrade (forced or not) worth it. Bear in mind I am a leftie. Otherwise I may just have Sony repair this one.

Pleasure to meet you all after so long lurking,

Skellytig
