Asked "Will you match competitor's prices? Sony has it on their web site for 249.99" They did. No case. Only a USB cable and AC adapter.
I like the improved software set over the 650 and having an AC adapter is handy.

So the 950 comes with an adapter? SonyStyle doesn't mention an adapter in the package. You bought it separately?

950 has AC adapter (with 5V USB output) and a USB cable. 650 and 350 only have USB cable.

You can see what's in the box at Newegg.com. They have photos of actual machine. Or, go to Bestbuy and grab a box.

To see a scientific one I've to set landscape. With this format the number of lines should be the same than in 650. When I change to go down I see agaian more or less 1/3 of the previous page. Even if I see more than 4 lines still I've to do several changes to see first column, to go back to the beginning of the second column.

It's fine when it's all in one column, at least there is no "go back", and the amount of text I can read before than change page has "sense"

SeaBookGuy, I got only now what you mean, as 900 do not have four quadrant view.
But 350 which I'm opening now for 1st time has it.
It's great. 5" and it is almost as I've 10". Now have a 6" could look reasonable in order to have a 12" (not right measurament as there is an overlap in the page as you said... but still

Once you get used to reading in 4-quadrant, your eye pretty much estimates automatically where the overlaps ends after each click. Honestly, I wouldn't want to read a whole novel that way; the book I'm "reading" is one of 1000 movie reviews, which I delve into a few at a time.

Just got my prs 950. I does everything I'd hoped--great note taking ability and the mangas display better than on my prs 505. It also connects fine to the Sony Store (such as the store is--not great). I still have to try borrowing a library book on it. I'm verry pleased with the device and may soon be parting with my ebookwise and REB 1200 which I kept mainly because of their touchscreen note taking features.
