Perhaps not. My main thought was to have options for a reader that could handle epub files, which is mostly what I use on my Sony. The newest one requires Win Mobile 5 or 6. Also, what I read about Win Mobile suggests that WM6 generally works a lot better, including more efficient battery usage and protection from "battery dead" conditions. Neither is essential; both would be nice.
It remains to be seen whether I'll discover that having a wireless device (my old one was not) leads me down the road of using that capability very much. IOW, I got a fancier toy than I expected. What will I do with it?
