Once you've done that, you start thinking about the experience of reading on the device, and how easy and comfortable the device makes it.
Jeff and I talked about the first set of selection criteria. You are taking it to the next step.

You guys are right about ergonomics. I love my Sony PRS 505 (which I bought after the touch-screen version came out because the touch-screeen had gotten such lousy reviews). The problem with the 505, though, is that you turn pages by pushing one of two buttons, on either side of the machine. The one on the right is small and oddly shaped. The one on the left is fine, except that I had the MCP joint in my left thumb surgically fused a few years ago, so pressing that one is a bit of a challenge. I'm really looking forward to Sony's new touch-screen reader, which is supposed to be very sensitive, with no loss of sharpness and nice contrast.
