The Sony 500, 505, 700, and 600 models all have memory card slots. ONLY the 300 doesn't.
But I don't even use a memory card. Right now I have about 120 novels on my Reader 505, and am using less than half of the internal memory. This is plenty of storage for books. Comparing to an iPhone memory capacity makes no sense.

I am talking about time between charges during normal use, not the overall lifetime of the battery itself. To address that also, more reading using less power (as the e-ink display allows) means fewer recharges and a longer battery/device lifetime for the same amount of reading.

That means you have to shut down and restart the Jetbook constantly. That would probably reduce battery life further, apart from the hassle of waiting. The Reader (and other e-ink devices) are instant-on, instant-off, and I can read a few hours per day for 3 weeks.

As noted above, only one of the 5 Sony Reader models (the 300) doesn't have a memory card slot. And even this model will have bigger internal memory. Enough for a few hundred novels.
I don't mean to rant, but I have been checking out the JetBook website and their misleading/slanted comparisons and descriptions of "features"are almost criminal.
