+ Multi-language dictionaries.
+ Better screen, hopefully less glare. Contrast options are interesting.
= Advertised 'more responsive screen/processor' doesn't convince me yet.
= I'm betting they still have screen-layers that are prone to collecting dust, hairs etc.
= Sony's previous touch-screens were great for accuracy (just took the processor a moment to catch up with the screen), either with fingers or stylus. Hope the changes haven't had a negative effect on these qualities.
- Only USB charging!? Sony really make some crazy decisions. Recharging this way takes far longer; you can't use the device during charging, and in my experience the battery doesn't fully charge using this method. Plus, if the computer goes to 'sleep' mode, the battery is rapidly drained to empty. Yuck!
- No firmware upgrade for the old models to give fully-justified Epub? No, Sony, this won't make me run out and buy an updated model. It's far more likely to make me navigate to Amazon.co.uk.
- I agree that the new method of listing files on the device sounds unhelpful to me. I'm sure there'll be a decent search option, but this seems to be an attempt by Sony to be fashionable, which I think is a bit wet, frankly.
