"Fabulous upgrade from PRS 500"
Pros: The touch screen is terrific. The built in light could be better but is functional. The expanded storage size is great. The attached cover is a good quality and protects the device. The ability to add notes is much appreciated.
Cons: The screen glare could be improved upon and the ability to wirelessly download is something to look forward to in another improved model. Still expensive but worth the price.
Summary: After using the original PRS 500 model for tw... read more

"Look elsewhere for Quality or Customer Support"
Pros: Cool, trendy, yada ... yes, but when you have two other products on the market, you may want to consider long-term quality and customer service and support, both of which Sony seriously lacks. See below and see how Sony "Thanks [YOU] for waiting"
Cons: The screen goes out and Sony's solution is to charge you a $99 fee to replace it with a refurbish unit of the same model you own. So, if improvements are made to your current unit, you'll get stuck paying a hundred bucks for the same subpar e-reader
Summary: A conversation w/Sony Support: "Thanks for Wa... read more
