(2) I am not supposed to have too much books at once because they are bloody expensive at Sony online store. I am also not supposed to have ebooks in format other than I can buy at Connect store. These are BAD books in WRONG formats. If I'll make an attempt to read PDF they will spoil my eyes.
(3) I was thinking that this device is actually for READING the books, but it actually designed just for SELLING books via CONNECT store.
(4) Multi-language support is bad idea, since citizens of "OTR" countries has no respect to an INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

Don't get me wrong here! I am looking for the same things you do and I've been through the same reasonings and frustrations you have.
For now there is no device available (although the Iliad comes close)that will permit us to have eink in a
reduced computer meaning a portable device that permits total written file creation.
But in the meantime, before we get such a device, the reader is a very entertaining little gadget. It is a gadget because it was meant to be one, even if it is built around a serious task like caring for litterature. I feel it has more promises than what was built of it, but I know nothing of how to aid it in becoming so. That is developing with the aid of programmers around this site. We must be patient. You can't say this is a new situation. The ebook was born a long time ago but still in the incubation machine.
