I don't see the need to delete a book in memory from the 500/505 not hooked up to a computer. In fact, it just adds bloat. I'll tell you why.
You have your 505 with you, you finish a book, if you were able to delete it, you'd go and delete it. Yes, you've just freed up memory. But so what? You cannot use the memory for a different book because to do that you'd need it hooked up to a computer and when you go to change the contents of the 505, you'd need a computer anyway. So why not just wait till you get to that computer to delete your content? See, it add no functionality at all in the real world. The Kindle has it because you can change content without being connected to a computer. So please don't ask for really useless features. |

I don't see it as a useless feature at all. I downloaded a couple of collections that came across as ~20 short stories. Right now I have around 80 or so "books" in internal memory on my reader. Sometime I might go weeks in between reading on my reader. I often can't remember which stories I have read. So now, I have to open up the book and check (usually by "continue reading" page number) to see if I have read it or not. If I could delete, then I wouldn't have this problem.

I'm also on the side of "the customer asked for it." I want it because I am a bit obsessive about lists myself. If you ran a poll I'll bet most folks want it.
Sony, are you out there? Is anyone listening? |
