I'll jump in with my impressions (I hope Bob doesn't mind). I'm a new Sony PRS user and just received my 505 a week ago. I do love it, but there are some annoyances:
- The NEXT PAGE button needs to be bigger and easier to find without looking. This is so obvious I can't believe it hasn't been implemented (ergonomics 101). Even a braille 'bump' on the NEXT button would be better.
- The Menus are horribly slow. I can handle the page turn speed, but waiting three to four seconds for the menu to respond is really bad. The keys (0-9 in particularly) often don't provide a positive tactile feedback and you end up pressing them a couple times to be sure only to have it jump to who knows where when it finally does respond. This is the one problem that I view as inexcusable - c'mon Sony.
- The eConnect Store interface is feeble especially when you are trying to download your 100 free classics. There is no concept of a shopping cart or making multiple selections. It's purely one at a time - painful. You would think that they are trying to make it hard to get your free books...... (c8
The rest is all positive and Bob has already done a great job in his review.
Best regards,
