I sent my PRS-500 back for the 2ND program upgrade today. It should arrive Monday via UPS 2ND-day Air to Laredo, TX. I had received a free UPS shipping box from Sony yesterday.

I was somewhat hesitant to send the reader back, but the short battery life was driving me nuts. I purchased the reader on 10/5/06, 5 days after I retired, to replace my Hiebook & Sharp Wizard readers. I have been reading ebooks since January 2001, and the PRS-500 was , by far, the best reader I had ever owned. Oh well, I guess its back to the Hiebook ( if I can remember how to convert an ebook).

I have been carrying the PRS-500 reader everywhere I went for 3 & 1/2 years. I am going through withdrawals already! I will keep you informed on my reprogram progress.
