My first e-reader was a Nook Classic, my second a Kindle 3 my third a Sony prs 350. A year or so later...I have all three in updated versions. I prefer reading with the Sony T1 (though I still like my 350). I find it easier to hold & easier to read on. Not sure why. The Sony would be perfect for me if it had the tap page turn & the store was better. I have to say the Kindle store is better & the tap page turn is better.... This is all IMHO.
