I still have a PRS-500 as my one and only e-ink reader (though I've seen and tried various other Kindles and later Sonys), and will probably upgrade it once the new firmware arrives.
I haven't turned the PRS-500 on in months, though, because I do all my e-reading in the varied ebook apps installed on my iPhone 3G. A dedicated reading device wound up being just too much grief to carry around.
For that matter, I like a dim house, and dim light is e-ink's Achilles heel. Simple paper does better, but for me backlit is best.
