Oops, i actually meant the body of the reader and the bezel around the screen, not the screen itself (and black 650 stands for black 650 ). Sorry for not making it clear.

The light is incredible with the new screen. I find that leaving it at the first setting is plenty bright to read in bed. Compare that to my PRS-900 where even cracked up to the max the light is still pretty dim.

Great to know! Thanks m-reader!

The prototype 950 seems smaller and lighter than the 900, but I'm leaning against paying almost $100 more for another line or so of text; I have no interest whatsoever in wireless Sony book purchasing, and not much more in the clunky, limited web browsing that may be possible.
The 650 is noticeably lighter than the 505, as well as I believe slightly smaller dimensions.

A guy at work has a DX Perl. Beautiful large screen, but very basic PDF support. My biggest gripe is that there's no ToC support. For reference materials this is a must. Also, page number navigation is crap on it. I managed to crash it 3 times.
I agree with you re 950. Although no doubt it is going to be a beautiful thing, it just isn't big enough.

Hiya, no probs, I get you. I think you are quite right, because the bezel is fairly shiny on PRS-650.

I have read about the PP 902. It should definitely be something to look out for when it does comes out. I just hope the screen is going to be similar in quality to Perl.
