My Sony PRS 505 has been flawless for a year or two.

Suddenly I noticed the battery was draining fast. Then I tried to delete a book and the <mark> button was non-responsive in the final step to delete the book.

I then realized that the <mark> button also would no longer mark any pages.

I reset my 505 but nothing improved. A full recharge also was not helpful.

Then I realized the on/off button would not shut down my unit.

The Sony help folks via telephone had no clues.

My 505 is now on the way to Sony in Laredo for repairs...hopefully with some success.

If not, should I replace my 505 with a 600 or 900?

Any advice welcome!

Thanks!
