The biggest problem with eInk on all devices so far is the contrast -- the background is always grey, not white (like a piece of paper). As far as eInk goes, the Sony 505 is state of the art (as are the Kindle, etc.) -- they all use the same screen. Personally, I'm not going to upgrade my 505 until the contrast issue is solved. Think about it -- you're going to spend many hours reading your eInk device, struggling unconsciously with the lousy contrast, and Sony releases a model with even poorer contrast. This is a much more important issue than all the other bells and whistles they added (faster page turning, more font sizes, lighting, etc.) It would appear that the technical people took over from the designers and produced an unusable machine.
