Yeah, I know. It also happens to be my birthday, which seems like a good omen...

Ah, yes... that seems like a good idea.

*Note to self: Get an SD card reader...*

By the way, one of the disadvantages you felt for the 505 was the lack of folders for organising your collection. According the crc earlier, the PRS+ allows folder support. Does that, then, make a difference to your recommendation? Or would you still say the Libre is the one to go for?

In what way do you think is the Libre limited? The size of the display, to me, seems to be the biggest limitation. (I know that makes the Libre smaller in dimensions, but I don't really intend to carry it around much, so portability isn't an issue.) But are there other limitations I should know about?

I think it's boiling down to the Libre vs. PRS-505 for me. Due to what I've read here, the limitations in features, as well as my natural reluctance to buy a new and unproven device, I think the Kobo is out. A shame, really; I still think it looks the best.
