It depends what you are looking for. I will check out the Sony Reader when it appears but it may take a while and also I want to see if it adds value for me (for example if I can read a non drm pdf without fiddling with it since today in 20 minutes I can put it on my Nokia as an image/html for Fbreader and it works page to page for most books). Also the lack of backlight is a bigger drawback for me than the abillity to read in direct sunlight. But who knows, the display may be so entincing that I may buy one.
If you want to see roughly how books display on Ebookwise I posted some pictures here and there are many threads about this reader and about Nokia 770 which is my other reader. (

And i know that overall the price is higher.. but if you combine the low monthly payment, plus a few books... it's attractive for a few reasons. |
