Sony's really recovered quite a bit from the consumer unfriendly practices of 7 years ago.

I think we need to respect this kind of thing, or there's no meaning behind our outrage at companies that suck.]]>Nov 16th 2009 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/Nov 16th 2009 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/
@death_hippo2x- I completely agree. Worse deal ever. No if it was a limited time offer and not a trade in. Then it COULD be a deal. But that's Sony; always half a$$'ing everything.]]>Nov 16th 2009 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/
The whole point of sending it back for re-flashing is to be able to use the ePub format. Which will essentially give you a new reader, as you can then buy books from Sony and others, instead of just Sony.

The cheap trade in price is not great, but not bad either. It is an older discontinued model, so does anybody really expect a full refund? And if in 6 months time, Sony discontinue the old DRM system, and replace it with ePub, how much would an obsolete reader be worth? ]]>Nov 16th 2009 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/Nov 17th 2009 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/Nov 16th 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/
I'll probably have to send it in...as long as they don't break it. ]]>Nov 16th 2009 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/-1 for stating the obvious]]>Nov 16th 2009 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/Nov 16th 2009 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/Nov 16th 2009 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/sony-offering-epub-upgrade-trade-in-program-for-prs-500-e-read/
