Hemmi,thanks for the tips! I really want the eInk screen. Buying a Sony reader off ebay is a very good idea, but I have concerns about the battery. This is one of the issues with my reader - it wouldn't hold the charge any more. And I've heard that if you leave a Li-Ion battery uncharged for an extended period of time, it can't be charged any more. Have you encountered any battery issue with your new Sony reader?
ottdmk, so there's hope...

I can't for the life of me understand why wireless lending is not a standard feature.
