Just an aside, but last night I went back to reading on the Aluratek for the first time in a few months. I had been reading on my Sony PRS-350 recently, and I was really surprised to find the reading experience was much easier on my eyes with the Aluratek's screen. It's instantaneous page turns, no black-flashing during turns, better font sizes, and a sharper contrast between screen and text due to a better font choice made the reading experience closer to reading a paper book. Also, the white frame of my Aluratek is less distracting than the brushed aluminum of the Sony. I found the Aluratek more readable in low-light situations.
The Sony's CPU operates much faster, has more options, charges faster, is much thinner and frankly looks cooler, but damn, I'm still happy to have the Aluratek and it was nice to be reminded why I enjoyed it in the first place. I found that the framework of the Aluratek disappears from my field of view when reading on it; the Sony framework never does, especially when it reflects light. One of these days I'll get a skin for it and see if that changes the experience.
I think, though, one of the key pluses about the Aluratek for me anyway, is that there is a better font size choice in the medium-to-large range. The Sony's mid-size fonts are either just a little too small or a little too large for my reading comfort.
Of course, it also took me a while to stop swiping the screen and expecting the page to change.....
