Having started with the 505, moved to a 600, then the 900, I was happy with the Sony side of things. I liked the Kindle DX and with the new pearl screens I upgraded to the DXG. I became addicted to the pearl screen. I use the DX around the house, but on the road, it is too large to carry along with my laptop. Hence the need for a Sony for travel.

I always disliked Amazon d-pad navigation rather than Sony's touch pad. Moving the cursor around a page on a Kindle drives me nuts. Also, my public library has over 7,000 e-titles which is another negative for Kindle but major advantage for Sony.

I purchased the 650 on a special with cover from Borders, then I saw the 950. My heart melted. Speaking with the SonyStyle store techies pushed me over the edge. I returned the 650 to Borders, traded in my daughters 600 for credit on the 950 and gave my daughter my 900.

Bottom line, I love the 950. Having seen the rapid evolution of e-readers, I am in Heaven. Around the house I use the DXG. Out of the house, the 950 meets all my needs.

Did I mention that I read fiction far more than I had for years? If I am line waiting someplace, I'll read a book. If I had to choose between one of my readers, ......drum role...... it would be the 950. Screen navigation and library access tip the scale.
