I agree, for me the display is a secondary concern, I've only used the Sony so I have no basis for comparison, but I find the glare and occasional reflection well within the acceptable range for me.

I'm with you though Ben, I'd like to see more ability to manage collections and lists on the reader itself. Some of the things I'd like are:
  • Ability to mark a book read/unread
  • Ability to see the book details with out actually opening the book
  • Ability to rate books
  • Ability to control what information is displayed in the list (ie thumbnail, title, author,
  • rating; or, thumbnail, title, synopsis
  • Ability to sort books in a specific order within a collection, so you could sort your to read list in the order you're going to read them.

The only non collection management thing I'd like to see would be automatic RSS feeds that you could subscribe to and have delivered daily, liek they do with newspapers.
