Q7 - backlight, color, internet tablet capabilities, Remoting, much much more...

I had a Sony PRS-505 for a while and it wasn't really my cup of tea. The only benefit I saw was the extra battery life, but I do most of my reading in no light or low light situations so it just wasn't as good as an LCD device. I preferred my eBookwise-1150 or Nokia N770 to the Sony. That's just me, but I know a lot of other people feel exactly the same way. Plus, the Kindle is far too expensive for a single function device.
you, me, most everyone who's chosen LCD over eink, as well as sizable part of the digital publishing industry.

This last is not a joke or an exaggeration. I spoke to a bunch of people from a bunch of companies at DB09, and the general opinion was that while eink is nice, there are many purposes for which it won't work.
