They are right though, $50 less would help sell this, but I guess that's up to Sony.

The video review should have displayed an e-book with a smaller font size, because that is way too big for the PRS-300.

Pretty good if you're cheap, on the go, and like portability. Remember that your ebook font size has to be smaller than the one shown in the video, otherwise it's not going to be easy enjoying this great product.

I just wished that there was a memory stick slot for the Sony PRS-300 so when (and I will, just not anytime soon) I do plan on upgrading to a 6" or hopefully an 8.5" x 11" e-book reader provided by Sony I can just pop over my memory card instead of setting up everything in my computer. I guess Sony forgot to think about that.
I want more features and I want to pay less for them?

The only way Sony could knock the price down to $199 was to drop features like the expansion card. I'm sure in a few months we'll see it discounted somewhat, but probably not a lot.

You can have cheap, or you can have feature-rich, but it's hard to have both. Especially this early in a technology's life cycle.
