I tried the kindle, nook, kobo, sony, aluratek LP & literati at several stores. I saw the velocity cruz and pandigital but they were non-operational displays. I asked for Cmas the ALP because of price. I bought the literati because I got it on clearance for $30 BEFORE my $20 gift card. I have not used my ALP since I have the literati updated. My turn page buttons on the ALP is jumpy like the old TI calculators with the bubble buttons. I have to press the button on the corner edge rather on the middle to get it to turn pages. I like the literati's better because it is such a soft touch. I read mostly in bed at night. I don't have any lights on and the literati offers enough backlit light to read the full page. I have a sony cover for my ALP. It has a flex neck light but it does not cover the full page coverage. I have to keep moving the light or I just read landscape. But when I use it on landscape, I can see the light bulb reflection of the screen so I miss the words where it is center target. I hate the size of the literati but I am accustomed to it. I love the size of the ALP. But I chose price as my #1 reason of choosing an ereader. The wireless is no big deal for me as I don't buy ebooks but just borrow from the library.

For some reason, I prefered the Sony over kindle when I initially looked but I never saw the newer released versions of the Sony.
