Frankly, I think this demonstrates why Gizmodo is a third-rate gadget blog. They have an axe to grind against e-books generally and Sony in particular. They even trashed the CLIE which has a fanatical fan-base. While I don't use the 700 as much as I used to (since I got my Pocketbook 360), it is quite a nice ebook reader. The back-light has come in handy alot (it was one of the reasons I bought the thing in the first place, along with the ability to annotate). If Sony would update the firmware to allow dictionary functionality and hand-written annotation, it would get much more use than its getting now. And it is sturdy. I've never heard of a 700 with a busted screen.
