No one would pick A. The world's best, most high tech device is useless if it fails at its primary task, reading the books that you want to read.
Let's be fair here, shall we? Sony never mentions that their screen contrast is much worse than reading a book, which it is. In fact they claim that it is "paper-like". I have never read a book with gray paper and darker gray print, have you? This can be construed as misleading.

True, but this isn't a head-to-head comparison. No one but Ectaco is participating. This is strictly a marketing piece.
