I try NOT to upgrade electronics every gen, so I probably wouldn't get this one no matter what it was, but I'll play along anyway.

Pros/things I think are REALLY COOL AND TEMPTING

- library books over wifi

- ability to change fonts (although what if I tried all 6 fonts or however many they will offer... and I don't like any of them?)

- more font sizes (remains to be seen how this works out in reality)

- auto book cover on standby. I do this manually now, would love to have the reader do it for me.

- better battery life. I get consistently worse battery life than what I hear from others on here (about 10 days). I'm not sure why. But anyway, I want it to be better.


Cons

- no integrated stylus. This is a big con for me. I can't seem to use the dictionary without using the stylus. It would be a totally different experience if I had to go hunting for my stylus every time I wanted to look up a word.



Things I don't care about one way or another

Shiny vs matte bezel - guess I would have to see it in person to see what I think

Weight - my 650 seems plenty light, although lighter is always better

Multi touch - I'm not sure what I would use this for, I guess I would have to try it

plastic vs metal
