PRS 505

This week is the 2 year anniversary of purchase of my prs 505
It has been dropped sat on slept on and shared a couple of cups of coffee with me
Battery life has not significantly shortened
so I wouldn't trade mine

here are my hints I've found for my prs 505

I never turn it off, so I get about a week between recharges
I never have more than 10 to 20 books on it at a time
I use a little $10 book light
I convert all my books to word RTF font 12 ( the only books I have had trouble with in the hundred I have read on it were DRM sony lrf format purchased from the sony site which caused the reader to reset itself randomly)
I spend 5 minutes before reading a book pre formatting it into the three internal fonts so I can change the orientation as I want and the font size for different lighting conditions while reading:

over the same period I've gone through three MP3 players
They don't seem to like being dropped into puddles as much
