This is my first reader, so I can't compare but I can tell you that I am pleased to have purchased it. The glare is a small pain but I can live with it, and the page seems pretty dark compared to an actual book page. I thought I'd regret not having the wireless capability but I'm happy to not have the distraction - I think I'd be playing with it all the time instead of reading.

I've just finished my first book - A Brief History of Everything - and made a few notes, bookmarked some pages, etc. That's handy. I noticed that when I "hot linked" to the footnotes to read them, the "return to text" didn't work and I had to go back "home" and then open the book again to get back to the main text. That's annoying.

I do have major heartburn with the eBook Store at Sony, but that's another story for another day.
