Sony going to have to up their game to be competitive with Amazon, as their reader is a good basic electronic reader, but Amazon has got the bells and whistles that makes their reader a step up model. As for the new DX model, I think it is geared more towards students and professional folks. Should be interesting to see how it does!
Right. And many don't know the Sony PRS-505 doesn't have an inline-dictionary or a searching mechanism for within a book and for an entire library, not to mention no highlighting and note-taking.

Those are serious drawbacks for me when the Kindle does have those and they work well. I also read on another forum that someone who called Sony re a reader that faded in direct sunlight was told they are meant to do that. All these companies have clueless reps as well as cluemore ones.

A case is necessary for both units if you're going to have it in movement against other objects.
