Thank you for telling us your first impressions. I can't say that I am personally happy about Sony's decision to go down the cheap and flimsy route. As many people look at the price first this was perhaps unavoidable, though. Not including the stylus in the body is obviously another cost cutting measure, no point to gloss over this. As to gloss, using glossy plastics doesn't look as such a good choice to me either, as it introduces irritating glare and attracts scratches and fingerprints. Let's just hope that companies like Noreve and proporta continue to produce high quality leather jackets to maintain at least some semblance of pleasurable quality.
As to buying books via Wi-Fi I guess that Sony simply has no book shop in Australia. For the very reason of having Wi-Fi Sony wants to start a German bookshop now - something they didn't have up to now.
