I second to it.

One of the biggest attractions of Sony Reader for me is its similarity to a real book. I cannot read from PC Monitors not just because of drawbacks of LCD screen (eyeswise) but also because it doesn't feel right in my hand or there are buttons to press and mouse to click.
If Sony ever make 9.7" reader I will definitely buy one. I can live off other bookshops (who drop their prices now, thanks to Kindle ) that sell .lit books with easily removed DRM, which makes my money investment future proof and easily converted to .lrf. I also read almost everyday for 30 minutes in the darkness with Verilux clipped to Sony Reader's cover. Would be quite awkward to do it with Kindle because it is heavier as it is and its odd cover.
