I have the Sony 505 and the Nokia 800. I prefer to read on the latter, using FBReader. The eInk does NOT have enough contrast and I find it strains my eyes. I am almost 67 and recently read several long Russian novels on my old Clie -- no eye strain. I find the Sony usable, but hardly ideal. It flashes, it's slow, and its contrast is terrible. I've ordered the SmartQ 7, as I want a larger screen and it looks ideal for my uses. Chacun son gout.
