Those that "embed" pictures require that the binary picture is base64 encoded so it can be stored as text.
So, basically all of the ebooks readers are text viewers, whether it is a Jetbook, CyBook or Sony Reader Digital Book.
I know you like the Sony, it is the device you choose and it is the best for you. That doesn't make everything else lame, or "shouldn't have ever been released" etc. Of course, you are welcome to your opinion and I guess that's what you were stating.

I was just using the 505 as a price comparison since it's the cheaper of the 6" eink devices. But the problem with the Jetbook is that it is expensive and you cannot purchase most books for it unless you can find them in DRM free PDF. Most people (IMHO) won't want to pay so much and not really be able to do much with it.
