Them's fightin' words.
I can believe Sony makes good readers, and I believe that many of you are satisfied with them. For me, I don't have a lot of trust or belief in Sony as a company. It's possible that they've got their mojo back with their ereader, but I definitely don't see them as an 800 pound gorilla in regard to many (most?) of their other products any more.
Head-to-head the EZ-reader competed with the 505, and now that its been replaced with the 600 and the Daily Edition, I don't think there is a direct comparison until the next-gen EZ-reader 6 inch arrives in October or so.
However, the 5-inch models are ready for comparison, and here I have a hard time agreeing to your Yugo/Camry comparison. The Sony is clearly stripped down, and the EZ Reader's spec's are superior. Now I admit that the question of quality is still open. Not because I've heard anything negative about the V3, but just because we don't know enough about it yet.
I'm not ready to award any great accolades to the PocketPro yet -- although I did think it was a safe enough risk to pre-order one. However, the bottom line is that I'm far from convinced that the Yugo in this contest isn't the Sony.
