I've been using an eReader for quite some time, but apparently am out of touch with some of the terminology, i.e., Capacitive Touch as opposed to IR, etc. Also, what do the following refer to: CAD $158 (~US $150) and CHF 188 (~US $200)? I was delighted with my Sony Reader once I set it up, but I really had no frame of reference. I believe I have the PRS 600 model. Having purchased Kindle PW within the past few months, I can attest to how much easier it is on the eyes. Page-turning is easier as long as I remember to keep the touch light. The reason I haven't totally abandoned the Sony is mainly because you can often get certain titles the night BEFORE they're released elsewhere. If you're someone who eagerly awaits the release of books by favorite authors, this can be important. That said, it's about the only advantage I've seen in the Sony Reader. Now that the Reader store has an iPad app, I'm not sure it's worth purchasing a Sony device. Although I do find iPads too cumbersome to hold comfortably while reading, I am thinking the best way to go would be to get the mini iPad which has multiple reading apps. I know there have been problems with the mini overheating, but if those have been corrected, it seems like it might be the best option. I'm not sure how the pricing runs on the minis, though.
