I hate the graphical interface. Once again, I'm spoiled by the touch screen of my 1150 and the little teeny joystick and even teenier paging button are plain obnoxious.
When using the USB connection, you can't see what's on your reader. The 1150 allows you to see what's in your PC library and toggle back and forth between reader and PC library. I found that I had to unplug the USB from the PRS 500 to see how the font looked and had to open several books in Word to up the font size and then copy it back to the reader. Bleh what a pain.
I could go on but I'll spare you. Suffice it to say I have found the idea of the cool Sony and e-ink just that - a cool idea but all hype and no practicality for my purposes.

Nice to hear from the other side of the medal.
I might be mistaken but I gather this is the first attempt by Sony to commercialize an ebook reader? It might not have a completely ergonomic interface yet but it is sure to be perfected down the road.
Comments like yours are welcome. They are the ones of experience and will be used to perfect further doings from any eink device manufacturers.
