I am newly exploring the e-book world, and excited about the possibilities of carrying many books in such a portable manner, that I might actually be able to read more! I recently decided to read Ayn Rand's classic, "Atlas Shrugged", while in bed, but I know if I fall asleep and drop this book, I will be crushed like a bug! I am trying to be patient and study the few products available, yet not knowing how soon improvements might be available in the current economy, or, how quickly the prices may be discounted, I hesitate to make a purchase. I dropped in on the Sony site, where the product advantages seem to be the open source, and disadvantages include lack of wireless capability. The K2 seems sleek and interesting, the price puts me off a bit, but reading about the hack, might just seal the deal. Can someone push me off the Sony/Kindle fence, or shall I continue to be impatiently patient?
