NatCh, actually, I saw the Sony several months ago, as my friend V-P at New York Public Library showed it to me: the Sony folks had come to make a presentation. He thought, and I do too, that it's a beautiful design both in size and finish. But he thought the Sony marketers who showed it to him were, frankly, idiots: they never asked about NYPL's experience with ebooks, were not interested in how many people had downloaded ebooks or what the books were, and were unable to explain to him - who does not read ebooks - why he should give it a try. That's not encouraging.
You say you won't now read on your Palm, but if the book in question is available for the Palm, but not the Sony, then what? Both books I am reading now are so available, but are not downloadable to the Sony. This is the question that puzzles me: are you going to let the convenience of a device dictate what you read? Isn't that going about it backwards?
