What's the need of a SD slot and Pro Duo that each take 8 gigs or more cards but can't possibly be used? Does Sony think people have nothing else to do but pass info to their tracking system?
In a way, if your question is how Sony regards the problem, it's like the Detroit automotive companies saying why shouldn't Americans want to buy our cars, without considering the decades of recalls, millions upon millions, the rollovers, blowups, fires, constant maintenance, failures to start 15% of the time when you turn the key (I had a brand new one of those), etc....
In my view, Sony's Reader is going the same way as GM if they don't start really supporting it and listening to their customers. I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone, though I think it's still the best device on the market. There are too many bugs in it still for the average non-technical user. For use in serious study, which is why I bought it, I'm constantly having to deal with its limitations when they shouldn't even be there in the first place. It sounds as thought their newest model is even more problematical than the 505.
