Wow, Alessandro, let me try to count the ways, if I can remember them all.
Backlight, of course, with several settings of both brightness and contrast. But I can live very well with eInk.
Built-in lookup word dictionary, Search, Notes, Underline, go to any page, ability to view screen in all four positions, reversible page forward keys, time and date, ability to set the auto shutoff time.
Most important of all is the ability to download and use any font and type size that is on the computer.
As this eBook has been around for years, one would think that somebody at Sony might have taken a look at it and incorporated some of these features, but nooooo.
Consequently, I still keep and use it, especially for reading at night in the dark.
