I might still have to consider keeping the 500 for sentimental reasons. If it's a good offer from Sony, that will be a very tough call.

Granted it's not a RocketBook, but for me it is in a sense one of a kind, the first ebook reader I purchased. It'll be interesting to see what sort of value it will have 25 years from now...

Three days ago I have been given a 500 by Pilot Bob (thank you, thank you, thank you!). It is my first e-book reader, and I love it! It works perfectly and suits all my reading needs, so I don't think I'll be even thinking about an upgrade as long as it keeps working (for years, I hope).

I was wondering when you'd turn up here.

I answered the poll a few days back but didn't elaborate here. To my unending embarrassment, I ordered a 505 back when Sony offered the $100 for sending in their 500. Guess who forgot to send it back?

Actually, it was more a matter of me thinking I had sent it back when I hadn't. And when did I discover this? March 2!

To be honest, you got to keep a 500 for only $100. That seems like a pretty good deal to me!
