Good for you! Got a few years out of PRS-500? Now the customer is not happy that way past the normal electronics life-cycle Sony still supports its product, and actually took the reader into service (with paid shipping), and trying to get it to work properly? Ok, let's see what you will be thinking three years down the road, having used either one of those other pieces.

You wanted EPUB, that's why you had your 500 updated? Well, chances are you will never get EPUB support on Kindle. Is Amazon going to provide a firmware update for Kindle 1, which came out a year after PRS-500? Is Amazon going to add normal PDF support to any of its readers? Wait and see. And the nook firmware is all-around total crap anyway. So, you are not going to punish Sony, you will punish yourself. Good luck!
