That's fantastic. I'll buy it if it will cost less than a small used car.

If similar to Pearl in experience, I will buy it instantly at <$300, and will probably buy it if <$500.

Very interesting specs, but Sony ereader will be a tough sell to the general consumer.
If the reader is in the +$200 range it has to complete against iPad and android tablets. |

I am impressed by the weight at this size. Congratulations to the Sony engineers responsible for this project !
A higher resolution, android, a front-light and it would be perfect ! |

Only a 150 dpi screen so not very good on the eyes. And why would anyone want to view PDFs on a darn eInk device that is as slow as molasses? Reading PDFs in the best of conditions still sucks, so better to have a fast and capable LCD tablet. I think if this device is real then Sony is about 3 or 4 years too late.
