Come on $100 bucks extra for a light?? Thats BS. I'm really disappointed in this also. You can buy a book light for $15 and attach it to the cover and it works great.
I'm really worried about this move of little improvements and big price hikes like the Iliad. eReaders are already overpriced for the average consumer and it seems like they are trying to find the pricing point where the first adopters won't want to buy it either. I'm not a big fan of needing to slide your finger across the page to turn the page, its just a silly gimick leave the button for page turn. We'll see how their search works.
I truly feel that they need to stop trying to come up with the next small add-on and figure out how to speed up those page turns. There are some real issues that people have with the readers and they need to concentrate on those and not on BS add-ons. I know Sony is a poorly run company but trying to make a big deal out of this announcement is just ridiculous, someone over there should be fired
