Should I upgrade from a 15–20 year old Sony eReader to a modern Kindle Basic?
Hey, I started my eReader journey with a Sony PRS-650 in 2011. I loved it very much and used it until it got damaged about 10 years later when I upgraded to a Kindle Paperwhite 7th generation that I got second hand.

PRS-505 is way too overhyped for what it is
Yep, people see the metal body and buttons and then ignore literally all the rest that is so much worse than even slightly newer devices. The OS/UI is just terrible. It's slow. It's got super limited storage. Etc. I've owned several Sonys, still own a PRS-300 and a PRS-350. The 350 still gets used o

Time to replace the Kindle Paperwhite

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry
I'm amazed they they haven't realized that by being so petty pushes people away. Almost all of my reads are free ebups because of these silly games. I started with Sony E Reader, went to Nook reader because the evil aura Amazon's been exuding for decades. Once I lost the ability to download my ebook
