I have been using my phone, and after reading so many books on it I decided my eyes would appreciate if I got an eReader device. I ordered the PRS-650 and got it yesterday, so far I have loved it, probably read 3 hours on it already. My question is the spacing on my ePub books (purchased from Kobo for the most part) the small font seems to fill the screen much more completely, but I generally read at medium font size. When I set it to medium though the text doesnt go to the edge of the screen, I have about .5" margins on either side and the bottom usually has a noticeable gap, not bad but seems a bit odd. I tried playing with the page display options, but they all seem pretty much the same. I saw some pics on here of other peoples eReaders and the text seemed to fill the screen. Is it just the ePubs I am getting? I am currently reading the Dark Tower series.

Also I haven't noticed much other than books for the device, I saw some alternative ways to add some neat things to the reader, flash loading I believe they said. Does that work on the 650? I think having Sudoku or Cross word puzzles would be kind of neat, I'm surprised Sony hasn't added and/or sold these services.
