Ahh, when I read the article yesterday I didn't realize it was written by Nicholson Baker. Good author. Anyways, I found myself agreeing with a lot of what he said.
Personally, my biggest gripe with my 505 is the poor fonts that it comes with and that get used by default for LRF and ePubs. The lack of a true italic is infuriating, and is the main reason why I won't purchase any more LRF files from the Sony eBookstore. Thankfully, however, you can use your own fonts in ePubs with a few minutes hackery. And double thankfully, you can get ePubs at competitive prices from the UK booksellers.
