Wolf format is beyond irrelevant. The fact is that I'm ditching by PRS-505 for a Jinke when they get a touch screen due to the CHM support, the DOC support, the PPT support, the DJVU support, the HTML support, etc.
The reasons I bought a PRS-505 is that (1) I could return it if it didn't seem usable after a week, (2) I could play with it at Fry's, (3) It had a warranty, (4) They took a payment method other than bank transfer, (5) S/H rates, and (6) I sent my CC info to Jinke and begged them to charge me for 6 months before the morons decided to clarify that they only took bank transfers.
Still, Jinke's product is an open s/w platform, is plainly going to out pace the proprietary platforms, and is not Sony, so I'm still watching them. If they ever learn to (1) take orders, (2) ship reasonably, (3) provide a plausible US-based warranty, and (4) deliver a device that reads all my data formats (like the V3 does) while allowing me to take notes on the touch screen, then I'll jump.
