Why do you say you can't browse the BBC from your 950? I'm doing it okay right now, all you have to do is go to google in the browser and type in "news bbc" (without the quote marks, of course) and it gives you a list of hits, most any of which will take you to the BBC front page. And clicking on any item on that page takes you to the article.
What am I missing here?

But frankly, I could care less about the browser even being on the reader. I want a good e-ink ebook reader, and the rest is almost irrelevant. I've got a smartphone (HTC Hero) on which I can browse BBC and NY Times, whatever, laying on my beside table. I've got a nice little netbook, a laptop, and several desktops in the house, and I really have to get myself a pint of green tea in the morning before I start looking at the news anyway, so I'd rather do that on my desktop, except when I'm at my cabin, then I read them on the smartphone since that's the only net access I can get there. And likewise, the smartphone is always going to be on the nightstand, unlike the ebook reader, which may or may not be there depending on what I was reading when I went to bed, quite often a paper book.
