Personal note from me to the Sony Reader hackers: please stop making the device incrementally more appealing! I really want to like the standalone eBook readers like the PRS500 / 505 from Sony and the Kindle from Amazon, but I can’t get past a few shortcomings. Then you folks start making me forget about them by adding these little nicey-nice add-ons and my credit card magically appears from my pocket. Enough already!For everyone else who hasn’t resisted the urge of a Sony Reader, hop over to MobileRead for a .ZIP file to bring Sudoku to your eInk screen. Just be sure in the comments NOT to tell me how much fun it is on your Sony Reader. My wallet can’t take all this constant back-and-forth. OK, let me go over my affirmations again… no color screen, not good in low light, limited book selection… but I do read a book or two a week. Ugh… now I have to go fire up eReader on my UMPC for an hour.
