I think highlighting this feature (80-160 books in one instrument) as Sony does in all its ads is silly: no reader to whom I have mentioned this thinks it even a smidgen of a reason to spend $300!

The reason I posted all the specs of the new Sony Reader is that the adverts on ABT's websitee have been pulled and I still had it open to one of the readers. So I was able to cut/paste here for those that missed it before it was pulled. Granted the new Sony has more memory. But that also means more music, more photos, & more books. Some people do read converted PDF and they can be large as they are images and not plain text. So more memory means you can have more of them. The point is not that it carrys 80-160 books at a go, but that it carries more books in one go then you'd want to carry around. Try carrying around 2 hardcovers and 3 paperbacks. On the Reader it's no burden at all.
