Definitely,
NatCh.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to be here.
This forum has became one of the most interesting places for me in the last year.
I believe you are being very PC
I disagree with you about some people forgetting about bad things and remembering only good ones. Yes, sure there are members who are just like that, however, there is another kind who believe in: we bought it, it is ....(I am going to be very PC as well) lousy, but I am going to suggest it to others anyway because what I have absolutely must be better than what I didn't buy and I want others to have the same reader as I have even though it is shi..lousy.
So, I advice people to read the forum quite well, not superficially.

I probably belong to this cathegory, although I point both sides, good and bad.
When I showed my reader to a friend(speaking about positive sides of the reader) and she got really exited about it and said her husband would be very interested, I immediately, said: Well...I am not sure Sony Reader would be the best choice for him. There is another reader that supports dictionaries. Why did I say it? Because he is linguist and he teaches different languages and would like to have a dictionary on the reader.
I disagree with you that by applying a knowledge I have gathered here and attempting to give the best advice to her, I was a pessimist who concentrate only on negatives sides. I believe it is a honest approach.
