Hopefully, this will help clarify many of the pros and cons of the device.
Regarding my relation to the device, I wrote the dpsprep software, which converts DJVU to PDF with internal link structure and searchability preserved. I talk to SONY corporate pretty frequently about this device. In particular, I've been heavily pressing for them to open up the platform.

Nice work! Thanks a lot. I'm totally psyched to receive the new device. Like you, it has changed the way I work, for the better, and I won't be going back to paper.
Has Sony open sourced any other pieces of their software? I'm skeptical that they'll let go of control but it's an interesting thought. If somebody implemented support for Bluetooth page turning pedals for use with music, quite a few people on the forum would be thankful.
