Phebe-"although I want search, I don't want it big and clunky...Compactness is important to me."
Me too. I'm glad they dropped the qwerty keyboard the Librie had.
NatCh-"Actually, there are probably any number of reasons, I figured out a while back that just because I can't figure out a reason doesn't mean there isn't one (I'm just not that clever )."
Of course you're right in principle, but I did think about this case. Developer resources definately aren't a reason. It would take one person one week to implement a search that has all of the features listed at the top. Shortcomings of the interface isn't a reason. Sure, the eInk is slow and you have to limit the number of clicks to get anywhere, but the 10 general purpose buttons were a great addition by the hardware designers and solve this problem.
The only reason that Sony might have is a disgusting view that dumbing down an already simple function will help it sell more Readers. Do you agree with that? Would YOU prefer that? This website should take a strong stance against that kind of thinking.
