That's a negative??
It's true. I've spent a lot of time exploring my PE, browsing for apps, and slowly learning all the cool things the eDGe can do. Just yesterday I figured out how to quote from an epub and send it as a pdf email. Then my husband asked if I could quote from multiple books in the same document and I opened Docs to Go for the first time and made (and emailed) a Word document with quotes from 2 of the books in my PE library. One of the reasons the device appealed to me is that I share books with my Mom (I gave her my older PRS-600) and I sometimes like to send her snippets of books I'm reading.
Don't forget for your history reading you can look up maps and have them open next to your book.
About the regression from Pearl: I imagine how much it bothers you would/will depend on how much you like the extra features you've traded it for.
Maybe make sure you can return the PE and see for yourself (would be nice if the eDGes were in stores . . . .).
