I had an Italica (similar to the CybookGen3) before and I thought I am happy with it. I had this big screen and a sleek and stylish device and it can read almost any file in the world.... but I didn't like most file formats. I stuck to one. I didn't need 8 different font sizes, just one. And I didn't nee a 6" screen when I got the perfect sharp higher dpi screen and was able to cut down one font size altogether.
The Sony is pure bliss. It is perfect. There is nothing I would change. If I wanted a bigger screen there is the 650. Even bigger, wAnt wifi? There is the 950. Turns out I want none of these: I want a go-with-me-everywhere device that fits into the tiniest pocket.
And I will never understand the: They can do it, I want it mind set. They can build ashtrays in cars, why should I want one when I don't smoke? The plan is to get a device dedicated to reading, not browsing, not dishwashing, reading. 1,200 books will last most people a lifetime, an avid reader about a decade. Which kind of emergency will make it necessary to buy a book on the go?
