The screen of the kindle is imo much brighter/whiter, the print is much more dark and sharp and the font is much nicer to read then the standard font of the Sony. Also the font sizes are much better then those of the Sony PRS 650. On the 650 they're either too small or too big with some books.

Sure I love touch screen, but I found that the kindle 3 is pretty easy to navigate even without touch screen, so I don't really miss it.

I will keep my Sony prs 650 to see how my reading habit will develop and I myself will be curious to see where I'll end up..using both when needed or switch to Kindle all the way.


There are always going to be people who prefer one method to another, Nothing is 100%, my father would rather keep his clam shell cell phone over a smartphone any day. Doesn't mean the preferance is even.

Besides I think come August this will be a moot discussion. I would be shocked if the next gen. Kindle wasn't a clone of the nook STR . KOBO or Sony.
I think the days of push button navigation and the keyboard are rapidly coming to a close

I'm sorry when given the choice most younger generation will not choose an antiquated device over one that feels more modern. Actually I do fear if eink in general doesn't start to ramp up its advancement eink ereaders will become a niche market .
