Well, the original stone-age PRS-500 is still kickin' and still my favorite toy. But, as scheduled, the 2-gig SD card is about full, so it's time for a new one.

You may debate the whys of having 2 gigs worth on one reader, but all the Shadow, all Doc Savage, lots of 19 century stuff, etc., begins to add up. Plus, the trend toward larger file sizes seems to be continuing. Why, I remember back when, when even covers didn't contain illustrations!

I'm reeeally looking forward to faster, better everything, and glad to see Sony staying in the game. It began to look as though they saw the imminent ubiquity of readers (like cell phones in 1990) and decided not to play any more, but hopefully they can continue to innovate in this particular field and make a nice profit.
