wow that really sucks, I sold my broken 500 on amazon for 65 bucks. hopefully you can get one reasonably priced on ebay. I'm sure there are a few broken 500s in drawers around here still though.
the unfortunate thing is that 500s don't get alot of talk around here any more, for 50 bucks more you can get a 505 with the best screen Ive seen on any ereader (500 is kinda dark), and the ergonimics is slightly better (I don't like the button placement, I liked the 500 butter, but I hated the buttons, small little sharp things they were)
Maybe you can find some way to attach it to one of those small sub $100 linux computers, possibly the guys from open inkpot could help.
