I find it encouraging that after someone here--perhaps an Abt plant--broke the story here, it was picked up by a number of other tech websites, including Wired's GadgetLabs.

On a personal note, I really hope that we can end the debate of LCD versus E-Ink. Every time someone mentions the evil effect of backlight on the human eye, my hypochrondia kicks into overdrive and I need to stop using my laptop. ;-

Seriously, more people need to see electro-fluoretic displays and realise how astoundingly cool they are.

At the member who called Abt a "no-name website":
Abt has been in business selling appliances and electronics longer than I have been alive. They are a fixture of the market in Chicagoland, and for the greater part, have exceptional customer service, including free shipping within 100 miles of Chicago. They have a SONY store built into their building, and I think that it says something about the company that they were one of the first sellers to have specs about the PRS-505.
