Says me, who can analyse the whole strategy reaaaaaaally well, and still keeps falling for it  (currently waiting for ordered 650 and 350 to arrive LOL) |
LOL... Ace, I understand falling for the marketing strategy since I've purchased a total of 4 Sony readers in less than 6 mos. last year. I think what finally made me slow down is when I realised that the newest one, the 600 isn't as nice as the other 2 that I was already using. That's what has given me pause in purchasing the 650. Just to get it out of my system, I did visit the SonyStyle store to just touch it. LOL...
As for the book lighting, I would be surprised if Sony didn't come out with a 750 within the year. Their 700 is the only one of it's kind and those of us that read mostly at night and own a 700 love them. I love not having to fumble with a book light when I'm laying in bed. The cover w/light wedge for the 505 is fantastic, but the cover w/light for the 600 is awful. I tried to make it work, but couldn't believe what a poor quality light it was. I returned it for a standard cover and Mighty Bright Travel Flex.
Come on Sony. The 700 was a great idea, but it's time for it's upgrade.
