as a 700 User. I have never picked up and been unable to read due to contrast or glare, though those issues are there, they don't affect readability.

Because shops weren't supposed to be selling them yet.

we might be jumping the gun here. it says in the PR "A high contrast ratio with 16 levels of grayscale ensures that text and images are crisp and easy to read. "

wouldn't that make the contrast better then 700 & 600?
btw, 600 is 8 levels of grayscale right?

Did Sony announce a date for the availability of their version 3.0 library software?

It looks like the only thing going for the new device is library support. Anyone else see features they really like?

If the Daily and Touch screens are the same width, the Daily might have a 600x1024 screen (vs the standard 6" 600x800), both at 167 ppi. I wonder if it is made by PVI, which has not advertised this size screen so far as I know.

One more reason for me to latch onto my 505 like a collector's item.

"The best screen around and out of production! I'm accepting trading it for the whole Sony Family. Any takers?"

I know. Lucky us 505 owners huh. But the Reader Pocket is the same thing as the 505 without storage card slots and it comes 50 dollars cheaper than the 505 used to be. In my opinion, that's the most solid device Sony has in the new line they've brought out.

I hope that's true. I already run into the "no copies available" result on the NYPL. Imagine if there were suddenly hundreds/thousands of more people checking out those books?

I do think the library access feature is huge. This "e-borrowing" feature is gonna hit Amazon where it hurts IMO. I heard a guy on a train yesterday showing his Kindle to a couple of friends -- So-o-o-o cool that he can downlad free previews of books. Uh-huh. And then you have to buy the books from Amazon. While I've been borrowing my books free on my Reader for quite some time now!

Still not inclined to buy the Daily Reader when available--don't need wireless. I'm leaning towards the Pocket 300 (portability and clarity are key for me.) Will check one out in person this week, I hope.
