The ability to put an external card doesn't mean I don't want internal memory too.

Of course, if you can find one, and don't mind paying about a $100 more, so does the PRS-650.

I'll pay more if it offers me extra functionality. And, most of all, I'll pay more if I find it looks better.

I was first thinking the same. But then, after working on the Sony, I found out the collections work very well too. But a sub-collection feature would be very handy, I agree.

I "found" my Sony without troubles, and flashed the firmware with even less trouble. And I didn't do that for the folder browsing, but rather the extra applications that were included (and because I wanted to see how it worked...)
