This review reminds me of the movie critic that panned a film because it wasn’t exactly the same as the book.
Yes there are shortfalls in the Sony Reader that have been documented in many threads and posts in this forum and elsewhere. Everyone here has a thought or two about what could be done better or new features that they would like to see implemented.
The high rag content paper of old has given way to the cheap wood pulp used today – tan when purchased and growing darker each month thereafter. That is assuming that the glue binding stays together long enough for you to finish the book.
Now I grant you that the Reader is currently hard to read in dim light; but, then again so is a regular book. Before the Sony Reader I used a Palm powered Samsung phone that had even less contrast. I had to read fast before the backlight turned off and made the screen completely unreadable. In daylight it washed out. This is far better.
Sony and others have set a new standard for ebook readers. Future products will be better. This is called progress.
