1. Lighting is extremely uneven.

2. LEDs used for lighting were eating up power like any other LCD screen based gadget.

3. Because addition layers of touch screen and a screen for lighting, the text is worse than on 500?!?

Conclusion:
Two most important advantages of eInk were rendered useless (long battery life and clear, paper like screen).

The biggest blunder Sony has made in their ebook reader's history.
