As much as I loved the unit, it was heavy and the glare/reflectivity was awful. I still think it is a good device and understand the apeal. However, I do prefer the Sony devices and looking forward to an improvement over my 505 and 700.

my first device was an eb1150 too.
it spoiled me for most of the e-ink devices because the ergonomy and features are so excellent on it, despite its many flaws (soooo heavy !). that's the main reason i ended up getting a 700 when i finally did get an e-ink device ; it was the one which got closest to the features i appreciated most on my eb1150, and the touch screen effectively lets you put the page turn "buttons" wherever it's convenient for you, which is a huge improvement in ergonomy (i'm tempted by the opus now as a smaller device, mainly because of the hardware design and button placement, which is similar to the eb1150). and it's why now i'm excited to get a 600 ; i really miss the dictionary. the eb1150 is still my benchmark actually although i hardly use it since i got my 700, but the latest generation of devices are looking much more attractive to me.
