Thanks for the Matrix. I love comparisons like that.

Now you all have me thinking:
I've always had 6 inch readers, but if I already have the iPad, then a 5 might really be nice for the purse. I like the solid feel of the Sony 350 and 650 and am worried about the new Sonys because of 1) possible increased glare and 2) the stylus being separate 3) a cheapy plastic feeling

As for the downloading directly from the library, side loading is no biggie at all and I'd probably still do it that way.

**Something else I just thought of. I like how notes sync to the Reader Library with the Sony. Since I read more on the iPad, it would be a way to cross reference my notes without being restricted to just the device.

I'm thinking I'm going to look around for an old sony 350. But the thing is, now that there is a gap until the new ones come out, people are asking crazy prices for the 350 and 650.
