Still adding to the collection. I just had a Sony PRS-900 arrive in great shape. Now looking for a PRS-950 which is supposed to have a better screen glass with less glare. A interesting screen size and shape as the width is the same as Kindle, Kobo and Nook 6" screens but the height is taller so the screen measures about 7.1" diagonally. Makes the reader about as tall as the K 2 but without a keyboard and overall a bit narrower. I do not know if anyone else ever used that screen configuration. Makes for a big e-reader by current standards and it weighs 14.4 ounces with the not removable folio cover.
Lots of interesting older e-readers out there that still work fine and show different implementations of user interface and memory expansion. Many Sony e-readers had memory expansion slots for both SD cards and Sony memory sticks. Sony was late to offer wireless communications in their e-readers and never offered screen illumination other than by covers with built-in lights like the Kindle lighted covers for the K4/K5, KT and Kindle keyboard.
