If you're looking for a new reader, I think the the Sony PRS x50 series are just about ideal. The firmware that comes with it is solid, intuitive, and displays libraries very well. Adding PRS+ provides an additional layer of functionality. The screen is Pearl, which is the most advanced available right now. It's touch screen, but very matte, so fingerprints simply don't show up. Maybe you'd see something if you touch the screen while eating Cheetos, but not in normal usage.

Thanks for both replies. I have now amended Calibre and no more directories. However, the firmware is still very clunky and slow.

I know early touch screens were not quite as clear as non-touch screens. Is there still any degradation in clarity/contract with touch screens?


I will have a look at the Sony readers as recomended.
