Wow, that's a bit of an eyebrow-raiser, eh?
I've heard it said that iRiver uses very low-quality components, though I don't have the technical knowledge to know for sure myself. I probably wouldn't mind so much if the iRiver wasn't one of the most expensive eReaders available - in my country, anyway. (And at the time I bought it, it was just about the *only* one available locally, as well.)
I'm not a fan of Sony as a brand, but I'm thinking once the PRS-650s are back in production I'll ditch my iRiver for one of them. Bit of a pity the Story has got pretty much zero resale value!
