The PRS-900 would be a Kindle-killer (almost)!

And no glare on the screen, but give us awesome scribbling still! And wireless, and a huge screen too! And, and.. a $399 pricepoint

I'm so loving that there'll be a built-in dictionary.. is it too much to ask for a firmware update for my dear ol' 505 on that? Hey, it's not like I've just asked for a bunch of other stuff!

I'm really curious as to why the 505 has been given a pricecut of only $20, costing about as much as the 600. Hell, I got mine cheaper and it's been a while. Does that only emphasize that it SHOULD be given dict support ?!?

Here's hoping for the best tomorrow.
