@dnastase - I have wide array of old readers (including Nook ST) and Kindle PW2. All of them have different problems. As usual - balance between pro and cons. I jumped to the GL+ hoping it will provide experience similar to old Sony PRS (with more modern hardware) willing to invest some time to get there. At this point I am afraid my assumptions were wrong - do not see why somebody will want to spent time and money (not big money, but money nevertheless) finishing what should've been done by manufacturer in a first place. To me device software (and to some degree hardware) feels so unfinished - it is almost insulting, but your experience may be different.

Just to illustrate, Theonna from russian the-ebook.org forum (not sure if she is presented here - many people are) made a couple of quick pictures:

Not striving for real comparison, but it illustrates what I am talking about.

Too rephrase - feels like this thing should cost $60 and be completely open to even consider it...
