I would be forever grateful if they just would release an updated PRS-950 with frontlight, faster processor and more internal storage.
I want my build in stylus back and that beautiful aluminum finish and the 7"screen.
To me the PRS-950 is the most beautiful reader I have come across. Sony should stop trying to compete with cheap plastic models, or at least release a nice aluminum luxury model. I am willing to pay extra for that.

And just now, after comparing the software of the Sony readers with the Onyx and Kobo I have come to realize how good Sony's reader software is. It really stands out from the crowd.
i've been using the prs-950 for quite a while and just bought the onyx m92 and know what you mean. i can't understand why sony would not get into the large screen e-reader market. i feel for sure that a large screen e-reader would be preferred among business users than a tablet for daily reading and documents.

and even though i just bought the onyx m92, i would buy a 10" sony e-reader in a heartbeat (or better yet, make it a full letter-size screen, around 13.9" diagonal).
