To return to the question I originally asked that got this thread going. What's the officiL Mobileread Verdict. Well since Mobileread is made up of unofficial individuals the "official verdict gets to be rendered by me... The Verdict is.... (drum roll) about ten thumbs up! I love it. It doesn't seem to be "heavy" to me at all. I love the automatic screen changes. I find myself flipping it upside down when I'm reading with an ice tea in my right hand for example. The shear size of the screen is amazing. It feels like reading a hardback book without the quick rhythym of clicking the next button every 5 to 6 seconds. The in device bookstore is incredible. My wife was watching the film the soloist and I was reading and for kicks looked up the book. Could have bought it in less than 15 seconds. The new sites. CNN for example load fairly quickly and are easier to read than my iPhone. I'm enjoying it wwwwwaaaaaayyyyyyy more that I thought I would. No buyers remorse here I should have bought one The first day I heard about it. The in device dictionary is great. And Wikipedia for those rabbit trails my reading inevitably gets me thinkIng about.... "what's the true story behind the Bataan Death march...? Etc."
It's great.
Anyone wanna buy an extremely used Sony reader 500?
