One more question. I plan on taking it with me on vacation (Of course.) Typically I pack a suitcase, (Sneaking in a book or four wrapped up in my undies) AND pack a backpack full of books to read sitting around the pool, on the plane, in the airport, standing on line at the movies, waiting for a bus, etc. etc. etc. To only bring one little device instead of 12 books is awesome. And to think I can bring all genres with me from brain candy like Stephen King and Pat Conroy all the way up to Hemmingway and Solzhenitzyn is waaaaay cool!
My next question is... How does the Sony reader hold up under direct, blazing tropical sunlight? If I lay it by my chair in the sun, will the sun and heat hurt it? And how does it bear up under getting a little sweat and/or water on it? I dont expect to take it divng with me but I like to read a little, swim a little, play volleyball a little... And would like to know if its sealed to keep out sand and so on.
I know Sony will claim you can run it over with a bulldozer and all but I'd like to hear from people who have actually abused their reader.
How much will it take?
