Do you write for politicians for a living? Your replies are as clear as mud.
"Unhindered intellectualism?" What if people aren't reading particularly intellectually stimulating books, but rather are simply reading for entertainment?

In an event, there aren't any "differences in functionality and usability" between the two colors of the PRS-505, and I would also posit that "meditations on the aesthetics" is very much in keeping with a spirit of "unhindered intellectualism" (if indeed the Sony Reader engenders such a thing) and not contrary to it.
