Clever sony.
Screens still can't be produced quite big enough to make a reliably good job of PDF rendering. The Kindle DX certainly doesn't get it right all of the time and to me sits in that half way house of being too big to be pocketable, yet too small to display an A4 PDF comfortably. So they've done well not to be suckered into trying to compete with the DX which is a bit of a dead end.
This screen format improves book reading, will be fine for magazines and newspapers and keeps the reader itself a comfortable size. It moves the game on for eReaders.
I'm looking forward to seeing it in the flesh, and to the software improvements. It's got a lot to do to make me regret buying the 505, but this seems to me to be a good start.
