I don't really care that much about Sony losing the plot. I bought a couple of cheap Nook STs and rooted them and run Coolreader. So software stability and ease of use etc is not an issue for me because I've stepped outside the manufacturer's box and use a rooted Android OS. I would have bought a Nook Glo but the lighting system sucks.
But I do like the build-quality of Sony products. Saying that, I had a 650 die on me after 14 months. What a waste of money. That was the last time I bought a new Sony and when Sony lost me. Crap customer support. So now I buy cheap and root.
I would like a front-light for those occasional dark tunnels, but from what I read, it's no replacement for a clip-on light in a dark room. Maybe I'll look at a Tolino Shine at some point. The Android e-readers coming out of Russia and the Far East look interesting, but they work out expensive. I won't blow big-bucks on an e-reader. Waste of money.
