I didn't expect anything along those lines. I certainly didn't expect anything with Amazon. (see my other messages about that.)
It is actually [sort of] what I expected, a new device to supplement the 505. But, truth be told I thought they might be announcing a bigger screened device. I didn't see this one coming.
The revamp of the ebook store will be nice. Hopefully there will be a performance improvement with the changes.
One thing that this does show is that Sony is committed to this space and all the nay sayers about Sony abandoning the reader look to be wrong at this point. I hate to say I told you so...
