That's good to know..but a stylus defeats the convenience of the touchscreen imo and I have a tendency to lose them . In fact, even in the old Palm Pilot days, I just used my finger(nails) - in those days they came in handy

I love my PRS-505. I don't need wifi or a touchscreen to read. If Sony came out with a product similar to my 505 with the faster page turns, improved clarity, longer battery, 2 GB memory, 5 or 6" screen at a price less than the new Kindle - I would buy it in a heartbeat.
