Perhaps $75 better? The PRS-500 wasn't particularly good. It is hard to see the screen, the controls aren't laid out nearly as well, it is slow to do just about anything, it is no longer supported by Sony (although they claim they'll issue an update when their store switches formats), the USB is slow, and it doesn't support ePub (DRM or otherwise).

$50 may seem like a lot, but it really isn't in this case.
