I have nothing to say in defense of ebook reader technology. I too am very disappointed at the direction most companies have taken, and I think both the devices and software are rather tragically underdeveloped. Sometime around Computex, I lost whatever remained of my hope for the rest of the year, so now I'm just chillaxin and worrying not one bit about Mirasol or Liquavista or Pixel Qi or even a half-assed iPad competitor. I hope the stumbling around in the dark and endless clusterboink of stagnant Chinese clones comes to a close sooner than later, but I'm not going to hold my breath anymore.
In the meantime, I still have to strip and rebuild my own PDFs, and I may get a newer Kindle or one of the new Sonys to replace my even-more-rubbish 505 to enjoy the fruits of my labor just a little more. For fiction, I think I'll be able to stomach it for a while, especially since the price is quite a bit more trivial now than it was when I got my 505.
