First off, I purchased a Sony PRS-350 yesterday. So how many in this lynch mob have actually purchased one of the newest Sonys? I thought so, so back off!
Secondly I've owned the 505, 300, 600, and 900, the latter two have touchscreens. Granted my hands are big and my fingers are fat and my circulation is probably not the best, but my experience with the 600 and 900 was that using my fingers on their touchscreens was NOT something that worked consistently. I used the 900 extensively for 6 months and rarely got it to react to my finger touch. If I turned my finger over and used my fingernail, then the screen would respond. And even using a stylus, the screens often were slow to respond and the selected text would often change after I lifted the stylus from the screen.
As I've stated plenty of times, I am not a brand snob. That means I'm loyal to no company. I choose my readers based on what I hope with be the characteristics that make it work best for me. And I've made a few wrong choices over the years. Some of you are just as bad as the Applephiles in that you cannot listen to ANY criticism of Sony products. Well I criticize any product that has flaws no matter who manufactured it. If you don't like that, too bad.
Oh, and if you want to call me a troll, do so to my face. I live in southern Arlington, Texas. We will see just how big your mouth is then Mr. Ten Posts.
