I understand. But I don't consider newer readers "lightyears better." I like smaller, lighter readers. And I've already mentioned that I like the way Sony readers render fonts. But I use newer readers also — often alternating between old and new (which is why I use ePubs with consistent page numbers, instead of KePubs). For some reason I still sometimes have trouble with front-lit readers. It's usually easier on my eyes to use a non-lit reader with my Glocusent reading light (which is what I've been doing a lot of lately). I'm currently reading a book on my Sony T3 with it.
