Now that Sony has published the user's manual on the 950, I see that it does NOT have what they advertise in the initial splash - i.e. "Thoughtful navigation and button placement Designed for ease of use, the Reader Daily Edition™ provides intuitive navigation and button placement, including right and left-hand side page advance buttons." I guess we are stuck with either the finger wave page turn or the little button on the bottom left. I am also a bit disappointed that the page screen in the book reading mode does not state the title and author at the top as does the Kindle.

I was looking forward to both of these changes. I guess the PRS 950 is just a "juiced up" PRS 900. The Pearl screen alone may be worth it, but I wonder why Sony didn't incorporate the changes they advertised.
