Hi everyone.

I'm new to the erader scene, I've done enough reading to understand the differences between the models, have seen the K2 + PRS-300 + 600 in the flesh so have decided that a 6" screen device is the size that suits.

I've got an option on a PRS-505 but it has a screen defect, a single line of pixels is inactive down the centre of the screen, now I probably won't be too bothered by that as such but I'm wondering what the likelihood of futher screen failure is considering one line is out already.

It's going for around $150 obo Canadian, does this sound like a good deal or a bad idea ? I'll have the opportunity to see/handle/test it before purchasing.

Cheers for any input

Greg
