Do those of you who have the 505 like the PDF usability?
Are the Sony Style Gift Cards usable for the eBook store or just for the gadgets?
Will I have to use a credit or debit card to buy books from the Sony eBook store?
I have been thinking I like the Sonys ability to handle more formats than the Kindle.
I don't need the whispernet that the Kindle has, the Sony seems that it will require less conversion, and the Kindle comes with a leather and suede case and no option for synthetic case instead.
Since I am vegan I DO NOT want a leather case, which is one reason I am not getting a Kindle.
The Sony 505 is a synthetic case isn't it?
I understand what you all mean about the difference in the screens. The eBookman and the Ebookwise have screens like my old b&w cell phone!
Thanks for all your help!  |
Just highlighted in red all the complete misconceptions. As far as I know, the Kindle can read about as many formats as the Sony. The Kindle case is not leather or suede. While the Sony can display PDF, it is my understanding that it is not the preferred device for actually reading PDF.
Having said that, if you like the Sony, then run out and buy one. But, please don't spread the misconceptions around. They don't do anyone any good.
