I don't know why Sony is ignoring this market, this is a niche they could really dominate.

I agree. I'd snap up a 9.7 inch Sony in a heartbeat.

That said, I really think that my beloved Sony 505 is going to make a great present for my husband. I don't know whether I'll get the 650, or wait for the 950. I personally couldn't care less for wi-fi or 3g internet connection for my reader, however I will gladly pay the extra price for the touchscreen and multiple dictionaries combined with the new Pearl screens. These new readers look great (so far).
