I will not buy it. I have found the arc a little disappointing as a tablet with ereading. Even with wireless off, the battery on mine drains very quickly. What' s the point in having a tablet if you have to turn wireless on/off every time you want to do a search beyond the dictionary? I actually do that a lot.

I have resorted to having my iPad next to me when I read at home. The battery on my iPad lasts forever. If the new Sony had a built in light I would go back to them. Otherwise I may either buy the new aura or fire up my Old Sony 650.
