Sorry if I've come off that way - the liseuse withdrawal was terrible!
19 days 2 hours without my PRS-500 was getting to me!
Got my PRS-500 back to Australia now from EPUB firmware update rejuvination in the US
Feel much more conciliatory!
Sony positives:
- Reliable with excellent long-term support
- Support for EPUB and Adobe ADEPT, allowing you to buy from a larger array of bookstores. (At least thats the way I perceive it.)
- Great for borrowing ebooks as a result
- Not wireless at present, but Daily Edition is wireless (worth ordering if you want that!) Some people prefer wired anyhow.
Negatives
- Not wireless yet.
- Amazon are perceived to have a bigger book store than Sony, at lower prices to US residents.
- Amazon sell a liseuse with a larger display. If you need it, worth considering - but it costs more accordingly.
- The countries you can buy a Sony liseuse in are more limited. These liseuses can't be used in other non-Sony supported countries to buy ebooks from the Sony Store (which is a real shame).
