I have been reading ebooks on my iPhone for a while now and had decided it was time for an upgrade. Once I saw the PRS-900 I new that would be it. I received it yesterday and it does not disappoint. The cover makes it look sleek and provides great protection for the screen. The screen is crystal clear and it is sometimes hard to believe it is not a page in a book. There is a bit of a glare at times but I think that could probably be fixed with an anti glare screen protector film very easily. There are lots of options for text sizing along with a 2 page view and change of orientation. As far as lighting issues I went to Barnes and Noble and picked up a $10 book light and issue is resolved.
I guess the only downside is the difficulty in finding content. The Sony Reader Store is limited and usually over priced. I have been loading up my reader with books from BooksonBoard.com which has really good prices and epub format. However, the selections are again limited. I was able to put a few Kindle books I purchased and reformatted on the Sony but ran into 2 that wouldn't cooperate. After that I am more wary to spend money on ebooks that I can't use. Maybe one day I will be able to buy an ebook anywhere and read it with whatever I desire...preferably before the life of my PRS-900 runs out.
