Satan, Get thee behind me!!!


And here I thought your only relationship was with me. Imagine being replaced by a piece of plastic with a keyboard. Ohhh, the hurt I feel.

How do you think my husband feels???

Seriously, this is very true. I find it frustrating that every reviewer who downgrades the Sonys because they lack wireless are adamant that wireless is a must-have feature. I, for one, don't find wireless the must-have feature; I much prefer being able to double-tap a word and have the dictionary pop up. I buy and load books maybe twice a month; it just isn't a big deal to sideload them. OTOH, I use the dictionary feature frequently.

Granted with my Sony 950, which does have wireless, I can see why people like it, but even so, I still do most of my book loading by sideloading.

I also think that most of the reviewers are gadget freaks not book lovers. Not that this is bad, but that they come at the problem from a different perspective. I come at it from the angle of what makes my reading experience easier and more pleasurable; they come at it from does the device have everything that is the state of the art or what they think is must-have state of the art.
Yeah, so there!!
