Hey guys! I am being gifted with a new e-reader. (Yes!!!)
I already own the old Sony PRS-505 (although I really dislike the Sony book store.) I have two unopened e-readers in boxes on my table and I’m trying to decide
which to keep and which to return. My e-reader choices are the
Kobo Touch or Amazon’s
$79.99 Kindle. I live in
Canada and want the best option for Canadians.
Does having a touch screen make the reading experience a lot better? How does it affect your fingers or wrists to be swiping across the screen all the time (I’m a heavy reader with an issue with my wrist from typing.)
I like the Kobo Touch because I can continue to borrow e-books from my local library with it (unlike the Kindle), shop around for deals on novels, pay in Canadian dollars and use the new much celebrated touch screen technology.
I like the idea of having a Kindle because I hear great thing about how seamlessly it works and how pleasant it is to use (no bugs to work out). I am bummed out by the fact that Amazon isn’t offering the Touch model to Canadians and that all I can use a Kindle for is to purchase Amazon books (unless they’re significantly cheaper than anything I can find elsewhere.)
Knowing that I own a PRS-505 which works well (I could sell it though), which model would you get? I have been going back and forth all day and need help figuring out which to return!
Thanks for helping me out.
Much obliged!
