Well, I've done it again........ Gave my wife a call this morning and told her I was researching book readers........................................... ................
Got a sigh in response... Turns out, she'd been planning to get me one for Christmas... Oh, well...
Anyhow, I went out and looked at the readers I could find... The Pandigital is visibly soft, and pretty hard to turn pages on..... At least using my finger it was difficult.
The Sony Daily is nice but at $300 it's not THAT nice. The tiny Sony is too small. None of the places I went had a Sony PRS-600 out for me to play with, so I bought one to try......
I also looked at the Nook and the Nook Color... The Nook Color appears to be very nice, and seemed to have a nice, crisp view... Unfortunately, NOBODY had one for sale, but I found one at the B & N near my wife. So, she'll pick it up on her way home and I'll compare it to the Sony.
So far, I'm quite impressed with the Sony. Easy to set up, easy to turn pages, easy to change fonts and orientation... I"ll know more in a couple hundred pages.... Probably by morning.
I'm now connected to a nearby library system, and have a couple books in my book bag. Once I get the Nook I'll download some onto the Sony and some onto the Nook and give both a try.
