Forget a Gen3. It's too expensive for what you get. The US price for a Gen3 is $269.99 while a Sony PRS-650 is $229. The 650 has a touch screen and the new Pearl screen. So page turns will be faster on the 650 and the 650 will be easier on the eyes. Plus, the 650 has 2GB internal ram plus the memory card slots. So really, it's a no brainer to say that the Gen3 has had it.

Given the competition, the Gen3 is just old.
