Hi,

I love gadgets and I am an avid reader and was wondering if it is worth getting the Sony reader 900 , considering the low price they sell it now ?

Or maby to wait and see what Sony brings out during fall. Some new Nook I've heard is coming out in late fall.
Market is getting crowded, but I guess not for long.

___________

I love my Ipad for all kinds of things mostly news, internet, apps, reader fonction.

I preordered the new Kindle 3. I have been always a big Amazon fan but never jumped on the Kindle thing because of the format, color, size, etc. But I feel I owe it to Bezos this time. I am always on amazon to look out for things, books , reviews for anything and I think K 3 it is great looking and with 3 G what more you can want ( except epub???)

I returned a PRS 600 because of the glare and price ( it was expensive at that time - before Christmas).

And returned just in time an Aluratek Libre because of poor battery life. I was charging more than reading. Maby my unit was defective but could not stand to try another one. So I decided to buy the Nook in about a week (planned a trip down to US - I am in Canada, 50-60 km from the border) when the announcement for K3 was made.

S0 I jumped on it. I am glad I did. I am as excited to get it as i was to get the Ipad. Which I guess it is a good thing.

But I' d like to have a native epub reader too and one that I can borrow from the library with.

So I thought of the Sony 900 being at 250 right now would make some sense. But not sure of what else is coming. One thing is sure. The last 8-10 months were great to follow the new developments and price drops. So I guess the next 8 would be even more fun to watch.
