Picked up a Sony Daily Edition at my local Bestbuy

You can bump the font size up which helps readability, but defeats the purpose of the larger screen. Take away the touch layer and give it a screen like the 505 and you have a hit, with the current screen it's a miss for my needs.

Obviously these are my opinions and everyone's needs are different, but for me it doesn't make sense to sacrifice readability in a product designed to be a reader. I would caution anyone that if clear and crisp text are your priority, definitely look at an actual device before spending money on one sight unseen.

I agree, but I do think it is the best touch screen I have used. The biggest problem I have is the glare when using a book light. If you are in a room with good lighting or outside I think it is very easy to read.

I hate you! Well, not really. My local BB's were out but their warehouse shipped Monday after I ordered Sunday. Can't complain. Congrats by the way!

Same here, but I've convinced myself that it would be best to buy the Apple tablet at the end of the year. Kind of like those who passed on the initial release of the MacBook Air.
