I know how you all feel ---- when the Sony Reader came out I was SEIZED with a sort of lust ------------- I ordered it as soon as I read about it, and some accessories! Despite the highish pricetag.

But now I have a Kindle 2 also and wish I had waited for the DX, because I read history books with maps and illustrations.

But the thing about the Sony is the old rule never buy 1.0 electronics or software.......

I have the original Sony 500 and so can't download the free Google books they offered.

For that reason, though craving a DX, I mean to cool my heels with the smaller model for a couple years. Maybe a year. A few months.....
