• Improved - still great single use device
  Some of us actually like to have an option to carting around our laptop or squinting to read off a palm. The Sony ebook is small, lightweight and very portable. I travel a great deal, and can take as many books as I want on a trip without the bulk and weight. The battery lasts forever - I have gone for weeks without charging the old version, and the new seems just as good. I am also a 50+ reader, and the option to increase the text size is a godsend some days. I work and attend school full time, and find this a great option for transfering PDF research articles and reading them in airports, waiting rooms, etc. As for the Sony bookstore, if you are looking for classics, there are more than 100 titles for $1.99. Non-fiction best sellers are also well represented, so there are options if you don't like popular fiction. I do miss the backlight I had on an older ebook, but the ink/display on this are so superior, I find I don't miss it that much. Overall, I think this is a great little device if you can afford it.
