Only just joined - my blue 505 is ordered and on the way (to Thailand.....).
Looking forward to seeing this e-ink for real - took the plunge and ordered on spec and hope.....
I work offshore 4 or 5 weeks at a time, and lugging books around is heavy and the fear of running out of decent reading material is an issue....
I did try using a toshiba PDA some time ago - was one with a fairly large screen, and used it for reading books (using Microsoft reader). It was ok, but any backlit screen is never going to be that comfortable... especially black text on white background - the light from the white background is bad, bad news for long term use.... never did try green text on a black background, though...
Hope Sony pay attention to this board.... I'd think a larger screen (but not 9 or 10" diag) would be great .... use some of the dead space on the sides and top/bottom (a few mm's here and there) and could easily boost the size up usefully without changing the overall 505 size too much... the new Kindle and the 10" Irex just lok too big for comfort.
