Further, using a Sony PRS-505, the difference in the screens is not dramatic enough that I would switch readers -- others might, but not me.
Certainly, the advantages in using a more open DRM environment is more important to me than the advantages of the new screen.

Apparently you missed this in my second set of photos: "Both devices are using their default serif font. (No font hacks.)"
I really hope Sony and the other major players come out with competitive readers using Pearl screens (or something better). I would never want one company to dominate. With competition comes a constant set of new and improved readers. So competition is good for us consumers. I have no loyalty to any brand. I went with sony for a couple of years, but they fell behind. Now I'm going with Kindles. Who knows what brand I'll go with next.
