It seems Sony tends to shoot itself in the foot often. They do make high quality products and the new ereaders are no exception. I have a 650 and 950. They are very good. I have two current complaints filed with Sony Support with file numbers concerning the above matter as well as the fact the "Word Log" is overwritten after 100 dictionary words, and more importantly, there is no way to save the log to your computer as you can notes and drawings. The Sony rep. stated that Sony would respond to these issues by 12/15/2010 and I infer he is speaking of a software update. Certainly hope so. By the way the Sony Customer Service has very suddenly become super responsive for ereader inquiries ie. no long waits and very informed personnel.
