I want to purchase an e-reader. I have been reading reviews for months between the Sony and the Kindle. I would rather be reading books at this time instead, lol! I need help deciding which to buy...
I was going to wait till the next Kindle version came out, but it dosen't look like this is happening any time soon. I read mostly best selling novels. I have checked prices between the two book stores and it seems Sony books are slightly more expensive than prices in teh Amazon book store, but I can get the Sony 505 for @ $100 dollars less than a Kindle. I could use the money I save to buy books. I like the design of the Sony much better than the white odd shaped design of the Kindle. I do love the wispernet the Kindle offers, and the idea that you can read a chapter before you buy the book, which is a big plus. Any suggestions to help me make my decision would really be really appreciated!
