For PDF's this ratio is awful. Really awful.

I wonder if AT&T is going to subsidize this. If it does, pushing the cost lower, with cheap monthly fees, and a screen at least equal to the PRS-505, I'd say Sony's done a pretty good job.
I highly doubt they're doing that good a job. Still, let's see, the tale's not over yet.
