The factors become 3G versus size versus touch screen versus format types versus personal opinions about the two companies involved. I think either one of them would be a good reader.

One think that no one talks about before purchase is button placement/ease of turning a page. I average 500-700 page turns per book. If the ergonomics of the reader don't work with your hands/preferred way of holding the reader, reading can become very difficult. My arthritic thumbs never did make peace with the PRS 505...
Thanks for that Polly. Do you find the menu system easy to use, and are you able to sort books by series etc?
