The Sony PRS-650 is nearly $300, twice the price of the Kobo so you expect it to be better.
Better being the operative word I have bought too much cheap nearly right technology. I have cupboards full of it. The Kobo is not exactly cheap in Australia Borders will want at least $190 for the new version. So I may as well pay $299 for a "better" Sony because I am not buying stuff off the internet anymore too many bad memories. The girl at Borders said they used sell a lot of Kobo's but when the new model Sony's came out they haven't sold, similar story to the Kogan ereader suddenly a complete lack of interest. I figure Sony will still be around long after Kobo is dead and buried under a pile of mobile sh*t.
