I get the impression that commentators on eBook readers (not members of this illustrious forum) can only see as far as reading novels and classics. A great idea in itself. However, for me the real strength of an eBook reader is for technical papers, text books, and personal written material etc etc. Most professional people need a lot of reference material and text books are HEAVY. Keeping up to date requires a lot of reading and once you have the paper/document/book in one form then one can easily transcribe to another - there is a lot of software our there.
Notwithstanding the above, I still thin k that £199 for the Sony 505 is too high when one compares it with small laptop at around £165 to £185 whic can do much much more.
