There are some things you can do on the Kindle that are a little "outside the box" that make it a better reader... (not compared to the Nook or other ebook readers, but just make the Kindle better if you will)
1) You can download/check out mobi-pocket files from the library without stripping the DRM, using a simple program (not python scripts). Link
2) You can share books with your friends and family by having them register your Kindle to their account for a few minutes....basically it's borrowing the book but without the 2 week time limit. (Commence the debate  ) |
I guess for starters, how many libraries are still using the mobi picket files as compared to the ADE ePub Overdrive?
and also I'm not sure about the sony but on the Nook you can share One account on up to 5 different devices,
So still say the advantage is still in the Nook and Sony corner seeing how very few libraries are still using mobi pocket file as opposed to the Overdrive, which seem to be rapidly becoming the Library industry standard.
and the account sharing is a wash.
