I hope Mentor will have the same option and I will be able to read in bed while my ebook is connected to the charger. And the battery is important too. I'd love to be able to change the battery, you should have a package with additional battery & a charger that is just for the battery. My old Axim had that, and it came very handy. Admittedly, it could only go for about 10 hours on the charge, but with two batteries I could make it through the longest airplane trips.
The Sony readers cannot be used to read an eBook while you are charging via USB. But if you charge using an AC adapter, then you certainly can use it to read an eBook while it's charging. The 505 and 700 do not come with AC adapters, but you can pick up a PSP AC adapter that works fine.
