Agreed. I generally don't read fantasy but I liked some of George R.R. Martin's early (SF) writing, so I gave it a chance. And though I never buy hardbound fiction -- as soon as a new book in this series comes out I buy it. Hardbound.
To tell the truth I don't know. The settings must have been turned down because the unit was considerably dimmer than other devices. I'll have to look again, maybe when the 5600 comes out (too late for Christmas, darn it!).
I looked at a 5500 a few months ago. The display was a bit dim and fuzzy, not especially good. The iPaq and the Toshiba (model?) display were considerably brighter and sharper; the Sharp, sadly, had about one of the worst color displays of the units on display.

Not only does it do what I need it to, it does far, far more...
...and I vow: no Vaio either. (Sad -- I did like their size)
