I send my PRS-500 back to SONY for the Battery problem, here is what happend:
1- I received the unit back with a notice stating that no problems were found!
2- The ID of the unit was different and I had to re-authorize it again.
3- Battery life still sucks
4- I can no longer read the BBeB books I was able to read before sending the unit to SONY.
5- I had to delete all the BBeB books from my library and re-download EPUB versions from SONY to find out that 7 books are not available in this format yet, therefore no way to download them even to my laptop. Message say check back later.
6- Small font is impossible to read, Medium font messes up the margins, cuts off text on some my books. Contrast seems to be degraded, hard to read the font type.

Over all I AM VERY UNHAPPY!!!!
