They still place the buttons in a location that makes them difficult to use during one-handed operation. They still make the bezel so shiny that it interferes with reading in brightly lit areas. And the long awaited WiFi is no good to me unless it allows for wireless syncing, which I doubt it does. I bet the Sony Reader desktop software will still be terrible--worst in class.

I read about the 505, didn't think it was worth the trouble of getting (it was never released here). Then the 700 came along, same thing. Idea of side lighting sounded good, but after reading some more, again, not worth getting. Then the 600 was introduced. And this one was available here. But again, absolutely not worth it. The 650 is the very first sony device I've bought since I used walkmans... I don't think there are a lot of "gung ho" Sony users here. I mean, how many are still using their aging 505's? I think there's only one group that will upgrade, no matter what, when their favourite company announces a new model...
