"PDA for the same cost that views ebooks, plays MP3s, and even has wifi"

I've tried them and they are terrible for reading long passages. My first was a HandSpring and finding books formatted for small screens was a real pain. Even the newer ones with color screens put some strain on my eyes and killed the battery life.

I'll give them a shot at least, e-ink sounds very interesting.

As for the price, new technologies are always expensive so what's new?

One of my big concerns is the syc software that's bundled. Will the device show up as another drive letter? Or will we have the same garbage software like their MiniDisk players?

Another is Sony's Connect service. I'm hoping that it's on par with ITunes, yes I know that might be alot to ask from Sony.
