I want Sony to release one with at least the same specs as the Aura, but have the ability to use the WHOLE screen for text and not have so much of it not used. For that, I would be willing to pay the same price as the Aura. If Sony goes back into the $200 range for a reader, I don't think it would sell very well. Too much competition from 7" tablets at that price point. I will wait to see what Sony announces. Please don't let us down!!!
My sentiments exactly! I wish dearly that Sony will produce a reader with lit screen similar to the positive reviews that the Aura is getting. I am not that impressed with my KPW screen, and I think Kobo has done a better job. However, Kobo's firmware stability and customer support scare me away. I'm not giving up hope on Sony yet, but they are testing my patience.
