The e-reader I want isn't out there yet. The Kobo glo light doesn't go low enough (from what I read) and anyway, I've handled it and I didn't like it that much. The PW seems much nicer. But the PW won't handle epubs and the lighting tech remains flaky. I would have got a Nook Glo but again the lighting-tech is flaky.
So that leaves me waiting.
If the Nook Glo screen wasn't prone to breaking, I would have got one. I could have rooted it and run off-the-shelf pdf reading software and Opera mini which allows text-reflow. All with landscape mode! You wouldn't think landscape mode was much too ask...lol. If Nook release an upgraded Glo with a robust screen and the same rootable Android OS, I will buy one. I'm also interested to see what Sony will do.
It's interesting days for a Sony owner looking to upgrade to a lighted-screen. Judging by this thread, I am not alone. Watch this space...
I think the only true indication of an impending Sony release is dropped prices and lack of stock in sony stores. I don't think we are seeing that yet. B&N seems to be selling off hardware cheap, but sadly I suspect that is because they are getting out of the hardware business.
