Ah -- you see -- there's the rub. There are very few members of this forum who own more than one device and are prepared to give you an objective evaluation. Rather, you find people with particular preferences which are reflected in the device which they bought.

Now, me for example ... I own a Kindle from Amazon. Since I live in the USA, the device came closest to meeting my own requirements. I bought an eBook reader for recreational reading, therefore I didn't need the larger screen size or PDF-display capabilities of the iLiad. I am unwilling to try and use a single device for all purposes, so I could be happy with a device that doesn't even have Internet capability -- I own a computer for that -- and therefore the Sony was a good second choice for me. What won me over was the fact that Amazon has publicly committed to get the most current release content available as quickly as possible and at a low purchase price. And there you have it.

The best device for one user isn't the best for another so it's very good that there are choices.
