It took some time to get used to it. The bigger size is not as comfortable to hold as the little one. After a while I took the MP3player, which I wouldn't have thought. I read along while I listen to unabridged readings (audio books). A very interesting way to make difficult texts easier to grasp or to enhance my inner voice with some new tonalities.
It also helps that 650 is dressed in an Oberon cover and now feels heavenly rakish All in all if I ever were to decide between them I'd go for the little one anytime. |

i've always felt that ebook readers were a superficial way, but a way nonetheless, to fight against modernity--too general, right? it's either adapt your reading mode or be antiquarian.
that said few things beat a beautiful first edition hard cover, but i've walked into the local bookstore, found an attractive title, checked the price in amazon store with 3g, and walked out. |

You prolly already did, but did ya ever check these before ditching it?

Being a sad gadget freak it is not unknown for me to carry my wonderful K3, my Andriod phone, a Blackberry for work, a Sony MP3 player and either my netbook or my Archos tablet. I am then covered for all eventualities...........sadly I often need another suitcase for the cables and chargers!
Hear you Lestatar on the Creative mp3 players.......sound quality was fab had a Nomad and a Zen for yonks. I never understand folk listening to their iSheep with the bog standard earphones that come free, it must sound terrible.........all that money on touch screens and jazzy designs but no thought on the sound quality. |

Hmm, now that I think about it, I don't actually have any music on my iDevices. Mostly, I just use the Remote app to control iTunes (WASAPI) on the PC connected to the AVR. |
