latent images (Score 1)

SONY has had a reader like this available in Japan for the last year or so. Was very tempted as the pages are really readable, nice, crisp high-res text. Don't know if this is an improved version or not but after playing with it for a while I noticed that the screen takes a while to refresh and it has problems with the previous page remaining as a latent image. Also, it seemed *very* underpowered CPU wise and the UI was oh, so SONY, clunky. So be sure to play with it before you buy...
