A lot of manufacturers want to make e-book like regular books, but they wont sell because people pay extra for features they don't already have.
I've been reading e-books on my plam for 5 years now. I much perferred my Sony SL10 years back for reading. I could read without backlight for long hours. And then the baclight is perfect for in bed reading.
So making a e-book without a built in light source is stupid. Size should be smaller than most books.
Problem is still new books don't get on these devices. So unless Sony has some "iNovel" site planned where they can distribute every new book this is just a nice electronic reader without any books.
