Well, that assumption applied perfectly to me. Before we knew what it was, I was hoping the 700 would be a 10" reader. I've always got pdf specs and datasheets open at work. And there are a Ton of pdfs I'd like to read at ebooks.com. A 10" screen would have bumped my reader from down-time gizmo to all-day tool.

I want the Sony Reader to not disappear. So it probably needs a radio to compete with the Kindle. There's no disputing the convenience of shopping and buying on the Kindle. I myself don't care about it but I think it's necessary for the Sony Reader to break out of the niche it's in.

And folders, so I can leave that crappy Sony software behind.
