Yes, the case really is essential for the Gen3, whereas the case you get with the Sony is perfectly adequate. For me personally, though, (as a former Sony owner) the Gen3 really is worth paying the extra for. Others may of course feel differently.

For ALL eink readers, a case is essential to keep them protected.

It arrived today! It already had a charge - although I've not worked out yet if there's a battery indicator on it, and it was already loaded with a few demos and a few free books and even a few images.
I've turned off the flash refresh, and I'm only seeing a tiny amount of ghosting, which I have to really concentrate on to see. Thanks for all the help, not just in this thread in choosing my device. I'm very happy |

The battery meter is at the bottom of the library screen. I'd recommend that you give it a full charge; until you do, the battery meter won't read at all accurately.

Once that's in, I can read books in the dark. So far no issues at all. |

But if you have a light, you're not reading in the dark any more, are you?

Search the forum for the term "bug light". That will give you a good light. Or search for "ear light". Either will do quite well.

Sorry I was being sarcastic :P I ordered the Bug Light as it says in post 35. One week later and the batteries are still going. I may have gone over the top when I ordered 12x 1000 mAh AAA batteries for it :P

Where did you get 12x 1000mAh AAA batteries? Are they rechargeable?

They're rechargable. eBay. I bought a UniRoss X-Press 700 battery charger, which came with 4 1000 mAh NI-MH batteries, and I paid a bit extra to get the guy to put in another 8. Came to about 23 quid I think.
