What weakness reading in the dark... my wife reads her 505 happily with the Sony light wedge cover, I have no problem with 350 & 650 with lights in cover nor do many other people with such covers or a very wide range of clip-on lights... just like paper books and no problem reading in the sun either... makes you wonder how paper books came to be so successful without their own built in candle... Also I don't have to recharge anywhere near as often as with LCD screen devices...

My money says their money is all on color ASAP, as in next year. Right now the EPD brands like Eink have to be concerned about the foothold that LCD is gaining into what they had as an near exclusive market. Plus there is the big weakness on Eink's EPD tech in the reading in the dark.
