Ingrained grievances? Well, certainly, there are things I am not happy about, but, overall, SONY's reader have given me many hours of fun - so no, I wouldn't say I am somehow 'hostile' to them. If anything, I was certainly hoping they would resurrect their ereader business line - especially considering that I have invested in their system.
Wanting to hurt SONY? I think you are being a bit dramatic here - and off the mark. As I said, I have invested in SONY's system - I have three of their ebook readers plus accessories, hundreds of papers annotated in their closed annotations system, many books purchased from their store - and three active subscriptions. I truly hope they turn this business around...
Really, I don't want to rain on anybody's parade (I know people get defensive when you criticize their recent purchases) nor am I here to bash SONY. Simply, I see SONY's reader has been on a rollercoster ride and I see lots of conflicting signals - a new line, but bugs - more communication (they even posted here) but also denial. So, I am simply, honestly, asking how does everyone feel about their future?
It's not just curiosity. Even if you buy non protected books and strip them, even if you use Calibre - to some extent, you are buying into a closed system. In my cases, that has to do with the fact that a lot of my reading involves annotations. So the question is deeper than 'should I buy a T1'? The question is - should I move to a whole new brand/system - or at least give it a try?
