A tip: Do this while you are sitting down, and have a hand towel laid out in front of you to work on and put the tiny screws on.
One potential problem: The PRS-505 is acting brand new now --- I'm going to have trouble justifying a purchase of a new Kindle or iPad!!  |
Congrats!
I'd been lusting after a new 650, but I want to buy local, so I stopped into the nearby Staples yesterday to see if they had them in yet, only to find a Kindle display! The salesclerk said they weren't going to be carrying Sonys anymore.
However, it did give me the chance to compare the new Pearl screen against my 505 screen, and I can't say I was too impressed. The difference was miniscule to my eyes. Good thing, because it killed my upgrade lust, and I really should be saving money right now.
So this is encouraging - if my 505 dies, I can probably fix it. Good to know.
Gonna wait for the next round of upgrades at least.
