I finally have had a chance to experience the latest in eBook readers. For those who don't know, you can download thousands of different book titles and enjoy them from a pencil-thin, paperback-sized electronic reader whose screen displays text as if it was printed on book paper. This is a wonder for those of us with no room for a private library or who are sick of pawning off old books on relatives. It is especially useful for those of us studying; much easier than lugging around six text books. So, from the variety of readers available, which do you choose? Having an affinity for Sony products, I naturally looked at the Sony Reader. Knowing that Amazon's Kindle is stealing all the headlines, I took it it head-to-head with Sony's.
Very quickly I realized that Amazon's Kindle eBook reader was superior. A larger E-Ink screen (by 1"), wireless connectivity, more internal memory (256mb vs. 128mb), a quick-charge, long-life battery (7 days vs. 7.5k pages), and, most importantly, a huge amount of eBooks available (145k vs. 45k titles), make the Kindle my pick.
