Peppermint tea, and still feeling sick. I'll do a teensy bit more studying tonight, and then off to bed to read and think about what I'll upgrade my 505 to. Ah, such sweet deliberation!

Good luck on your exam and enjoy deciding on a a new e-reader. More importantly, feel better!

I have no idea how much liters you all are drinking.....how much is in a teapot? 1/2 litre or more?

I drink app. 2 half cups of coffee a day and in the weekends some white wine and water as well. If I eat salty things when I eat out (I don't use salt in my food), I'll drink some extra water.

In my cup: cold Arabica-coffee.

Get well!

If you like your 505, consider 650. The latter is a worthy follow up to the former.

I have tried a new Pu-Erh tonight. Pu-Erh orange. It was better than Pu-Erh exotic, because I could actually taste dust, err...Pu-Erh I mean..

Just finished a cup of green Assam Khongea. Bancha is the next

*groan* apparently a pot and a half of lapsang souchang is my limit because my tummy just started feeling icky (maybe it is actually a pot). I need to find something I can sip all day. maybe I'll try some jasmine I have at home

Thanks, everyone! I'm sure it's just a touch of the flu, I'm sure I'll be fine, soon.

I'm deciding between the 3 new Sony models, actually. I'm going to gift my 505 to my husband (he's been begging me to do that for months), get a Kindle DX for both of us to share for PDFs (he prints so much out for school, and it's all technical stuff full of formulas and graphs, that I feel like it will pay itself off soon, and I have tons of PDFs myself.. some are fine to read on my 505, but some definitely aren't. If only Sony made a 9.7 inch reader, I'd love to have a touchscreen to annotate the PDFs), and an upgrade for myself.

I kind of want to take advantage of the 350 sale, but I'm scared I'll miss the extra inch. I'd love a 950, but as I'm getting a Kindle DX it might be overkill, and I'd be spending more than twice what I would with the 350. See my sweet Sony conundrum? (I absolutely adore alliteration!)

In the winter I drink 3-4 litres a day, in the summer at least 5. Depends on temperatures and exercise.

Take the 350 it is great and big enough. Had a 6incher before and don't miss a mm of the screen size as I am able to read a smaller font on the Sony. I convert all my books into lrf and read the XS-font, which is about 270 words per screenpage.

I tend to see it the other way. I got the 650 as the most obvious replacement for the 505 (with a brief flirtation with the fatally flawed 600 inbetween) and I love it.

I have never owned a 350, but a friend does and, whilst it is also very good, I personally would miss that extra inch. Having said that, the 350 is better for slipping into your pocket and is a fair bit cheaper.

Thanks. I see that I drink very little compared to you. Perhaps with tea, one drinks more.

Each pot is about 18 ounces. I go through close to four liters of water a day with my tea.

So most days I have:

36 Ounces of Rooibos (208)
36 Ounces of Black/Oolong (208)
36 Ounces of Green/A blend /Keemun (195)
36 Ounces of Green/White (175)

So about 54 Ounces of Caffienated tea a day since the second steeping is decaffeinated.

With the tea kettle at home and my drinking my red tea at home or on the way to work I will probably end up at 180 Ounces of tea at work and home. I will probably add in an additional helping of Rooibos or green tea rather then black/Oolong.

It is a scary amount of tea and water a day but it does explain why I am able to go through 20 or so teas in a 3-4 month period.
