I dunno about Sony's quality. My prs-600 screen had it's e-ink cells rupture. I sent it back and had to pay for them to replace it within the first 5 months. No, it was never abused or dropped. I have seen many Sony display models in stores suffering with bad screens.
Adobe Digital Editions...required???? Dead wrong. Just the Sony software.
I like the Sony bookstore. I want them to continue to exist. They are so easy to strip DRM from. Yes, I buy my books based on whether or not I can strip the drm. This is why Apple has only sold me one book, yet all my books are in iBooks. Yes, I paid for every damn book. If you strip DRM, keep the books to yourself. Don't be a jerk and distribute them everywhere. Authors and publishers have to eat too. I would not bothering stripping drm if all it did was to encrypt your account info into the book. This would allow the book to be moved anywhere, but if it showed up on the web, you would have some explaining to do! I realize that the books have to be protected from piracy, but to limit me to your choice of readers is stupid.
Sony allows putting books in groups.....this was huge for me. iBooks is behind here. Sony will read epub, PDF, and a couple other formats. Their PDF handling is superior to kindle. Sony has a sd slot....biggie for me on a device with limited memory.
iPad is simply awesome. The e-ink is better for sunny days. Otherwise, I like the iPad.
