Well, i also do disagree with the statement that the Q7 is "useless as ebook reader" in general. But we compare the PRS-500/505 with the Q7 here and in this comparism the sony devices may be more useful as dedicated ebook readers imho (and as well in the opinion of other posters). Astras post - even written as fact - was just an opinion when comparing an LCD-device with E-INK based devices. Astra offered two arguments: battery life and display technology. I didn't recognize that as "attacking LCD".
