Hey, guys! Ive already made a post here a while back, and you helped me out a lot. Now I was hoping you could once again give me your advice about the following issue.
Ive found a mostly unused Sony Prs t2 for around 45 bucks (the seller says hes only read two or three books with it and that the e-reader has mostly been gathering dust on the shelf). Im considering buying it, but Im a bit concerned about the battery.
The guy says that he never let the charge drop to zero, and that the last time he used the book was about four years ago and the battery was half-charged when he turned it off. Now, four years later, he turned it on again and according to him it still shows the same charge (two segments). Do you think he s telling the truth? Is it possible for the battery to remain with about the same charge for 4 years? And if hes not lying, then does the fact that the book hasnt lost its charge for such a long time mean that the batterys health should be ok?
Ive already have a T2 model and I was hoping to buy a second one as a spare. In fact, I also recently bought a secondhand T3 model, but it doesnt feel that much different from the T2 (I only read novels in epub), and its supposedly been much more frequently used than the T2 that Ive found (though the T3 is still in great condition, with one minor issue - i feel like that by default the text that the T3 displays in somewhat fainter and not as bold as the T2's); consequently, I could sell the T3 and buy another T2 instead.
Thank you!
