No answer so far. Instead they just develop new half baked gadgets and sell them for the full price.

No solution for "used books" (resell them through their bookstore, extend the drm to give them away to let's say 5 "friends" or sth like that)

I would not recommend Sony any more. It is all about profit and not about the customer.

My five cents

Sony is not at fault here. It's the nature of DRM. Go to Amazon, Mobipocket, Adobe, and others with DRM and you'll find the same issues. So please don't blame Sony for what is not their fault. Blame the publishers for wanting DRM.

As for the 700's screen, if you were unhappy with it, why did you keep it? We buy our readers for what they are and what they can do now. If we get new features later on, that's a bonus, but we cannot expect them. It was a pleasant surprise to get ePub on the 505. But when I bought it, I wasn't expecting another format to be added.
