But hey, if you don't see fingerstains on your Sony, that's great. To each its own. Just don't tell me about a) physics-defying miracles b) what kind of readers I have or have not tried, ok?
So you are telling me what I see or do not see on MY 650? I just finished reading about 50 pages with my 650 and when I look at the screen, I actually see more spots then fingerprints. The process of why we see fingerprints is irrelevant to what we actually see on the matt finish eink screen. What is relevant is what we actually see. And yes, every so often, it does need a screen clean. But that's not an issue really. Even my 505 needed a screen clean and it didn't have a touch screen.

Freedom hating company? That's slander. You don't have to like Sony. But that's no reason for slander.

You say you've used Sony Readers before. Having owned/used most Sony Reader 6" models, I can say the x50 line is definitely different enough to the previous ones to say they don't really matter when checking out the x50 line. Have you used any of the x50 line?
