I can understand why someone would be asking this, as I love my 950 to pieces. It is seriously a beautiful device and I love the 7 inch screen. I acquired my 950 last October/Nov and battery life is so far amazing, and I only charge about once every 3 weeks or so at 50%. I don't know what the future holds in terms of ereaders--the glowlight stuff doesn't attract me too much, although if it doesn't affect contrast at all I would think about it--but the only improvement I could think of to my 950 is wireless library book borrowing & ability to download from Sugarsync/Dropbox. PRS-plus is *amazing* and I've replaced fonts with much more readable ones, and truly I can't see future e-ink readers being much better any time soon.
My 505 lasted about 3.5 years before the battery became pretty much unusable (and by that I mean lasting maybe 1-2 days of reading), and it seemed to happen all at once at the end, although I'm sure I had to charge more frequently over time, I didn't notice the battery drain until the very end. I hope my 950 outlasts that (being charged less frequently).
