A few days ago I thought that it would take a very long time for SONY to persuade me to consider buying ANY product bearing SONY logo. My perception of SONY in the last decade has been that SONY hardware is overpriced, noncompatible with any other system, with proprietary interfaces, using proprietary media and ridden with DRM. The rootkit fiasco was the last drop and I woved to avoid ANY SONY product in the future.
Well... if they manage to drop the price of reader under the magical $299 (end user price, including VAT), I will buy it.
Please understand that I am from a former sicialistic country and there are many people (even households) here with monthly income lower than $300.
My dream machine is the cheapest possible system that features e-ink display. Just barebone black and white e-ink reader running on a couple of AAA batteries.
I do not need charger, touchscreen, fancy interface, expensive accessories, mp3 playing, multitude of formats (txt is all I really need).
