 Love it! August 27, 2008
Chi yun Lu (Argentina)
Love the reader! Very light, nice screen (could be a little bit larger?). The word files are easily transferred and automaticaly formatted to RTF. One of the things I disliked is the + button (font size) in the left, the tiny button is OK, but misplaced, touch it accidentally twice in the first 10 pages! And the PDF is almost useless, at least for me, the fonts remains way too small, but you can copy the whole book, paste it in "word", and select the ideal font and size for you. Takes you 5 minutes or less, and it's a pleasure to read!
PD: Can anyone help me with the "grey scale" thing? Sony advertises it has 6 levels of grey, but I can't found nor figure out how to adjust it!
Overall... fantastic product!
 Too costly August 8, 2008
N. Martin (Renton, WA United States)

I love the idea of this thing. I love the feel of it. And I thought it was going to be so practical, but it turns out it just is not.
I travel a great deal and fill in the time by reading. It's annoying having to pack three or four books just to get through a trip, to know that you're going to have to haul them around--already read--at the other end of your trip. So this was a great thing for me.
But it's expensive. Even the initial cost is a little high, but then to find out that nearly every single title available through the sony ebook website is more expensive than not only it's kindle counterpart, but also its real book counterpart was a huge let down. I cannot justify a digital copy costing more than the same content on real paper. Maybe Sony is has higher book prices in order to compensate for its lower unit cost, but it means that the only things on my ebook are the 100 free classics downloads that came with the purchase. And the classics were not the choicest of classics, either.
As soon as the cost of available titles goes down, this thing will be my favorite accessory.
