		<description>I was watching a video on youtube, and the Barnes and Noble man summed it up pretty good. Iphone, other phones, handhelds work great for those short reads when your in like a doctors office waiting. But you wouldn&#039;t want to kill your battery and the screens are small. 

I think MID(mobile internet devices) and tablet PC will make they&#039;re way for people who don&#039;t suffer from eye strain, and then hopefully our beloved eink devices become quicker, and can do touch without the glare, all while maintaining nice crisp look. Sony tried with 600, but everyone seems to dislike the contrast. 

I actually wonder if they discontinued the 505 too early. From a business stand point, you want people to drop the subject and move on. But at $249, it would still be a mighty answer to the new lower priced Kindle. It also fits perfectly in between the 300 and the 600.</description>

		<description>Hi Xerxes! Thank you for your comment!

I agree that ebook readers need to handle PDFs a lot better, and for many, being able to read comics (in color) would be a dream come true.

Reader ebooks on phones can be a problem for many because of the small screen. While I love reading on my iPhone, and I&#039;ve read many books on it, I can only read in short bursts because of the small screen.</description>

		<description>They have some tablet PCs that can do the net and other such things as it&#039;s being considered media tablets and netbook tablets.

I think one thing about them and that&#039;s they should be able to handle pdfs better because they can use software like Foxit. And you can also read comic books. As it is though, I like my grayscale books only reader just fine. Phones just feel too small.</description>
