@rem736 You don't get the Sony for ePub, it's not for that, there are other better options, like Kobo and Kindle, 300 dpi, and epub reformat itself to a smaller screen.
The Sony is a pdf and note taking/sketching device, I work as a software developer, and I can tell you that my productivity has increased in way I didn't think of with the device:
1- I get away of any distraction (including internet) and think about ideas and sketch them.
2- I have long hours of reading without branching, you know, when you end up with 32 browser tab by reading one article.
3- full size, full view, no eye strain, better sleeping...
Consider it a real work environment, I started to leave the desk and the computer, and go do real thinking with this device. Yes, I do read also books and documents, but it's not only for books and documents.
I can't see neither Onyx not GoodEreader software come close to the Sony experience, although I really liked Onyx software on my M96+, I don't need the features (crop and zooming) anymore on the sony, but I do need the Sony note taking function and responsiveness, it's really good.
One simple trick that I use with the Sony, whenever I come across a blog or an article I that want to read, I use Chrome print to PDF to save it to my box.com account, I end up with a list of article I read usually after work, without interrupting my work day.
I would get one if you need a 13" ePaper device, I think the deal is really good (mine costed $900). Anyway, the higher dpi epaper won't be out before Q4 this year, based on the website, and then there is a test and production phase, so nothing this year.
Would I get the new version if it's out? Yes, if I can afford it, but I don't miss it with the current device.
