Not the only one... I prefer Sony over others and could care less about the price... I spend a lot of time (probably minimum 2 hours/day) using my Sony and want something that feels good, is well built and is excellent for reading... Sony meets those needs and since it's worth a fraction of the value of my ebooks, it's higher cost is somewhat irrelevant...

When i was choosing my first ebook reader i went with the PRS-650 just because it offered the best reading experience possible. If they didn't lower their prices with new models but kept improving the aesthetics and screen technology then i'd be happy. If racing to the bottom of the price point means cheaper quality readers then Sony kind of loses any advantage they might have had.
