I don't want a back/front-light at the expense of battery power. (No p-books have backlights either.) One of the booklike joys of the Reader is not worrying about power and charging. I get enough of that with my cell phone, camera, portable video games, etc.!
I don't need more memory. My 505 internal memory is about half full, and it has at least 2-3 months' worth of reading. What are y'all reading that takes up so much memory? Or do people want to carry "every" book file with them? That's more of an obsession than a functional /need. Seriously, I have quite a variety for any reading mood, with tons of memory to spare, and no need for memory cards.
I guess I'm just happy with my Reader.  It is just like a book (OK, many books!) to me, with no techie bells & whistles, nor the accompanying hassles. And the Sony Library software has been glitch-free for me. |
I am with you on most of the points, except dictionary because English is not my first language and I use ectaco portable dic. and it would be helpful not to have to bring another gadget, but I can live without it
, but the memory issue is a really funny one. I could never understand it at all, because I cannot understand why one would need to have more than 50 books with them at any given point of time.
