I suspect that at least a few people have been let out of the wards.
I want it to read pdfs. Smaller e-readers do not handle them well because of the small screen size. The Kindle DX is only half the size of the Sony.
I suspect that others will want it for the same reason. People post frequently to one of the sub forums asking about reading pdfs on e-readers. Until now, the overall response has been get an lcd device, as e-ink ones do not handle them well.
Right now I am just debating placing an order. If it were for sale on Sony's site, I would be less hesitant. However, I do not know the sellers that have been mentioned.
