Sorry for the delay, dealing with a couple of sick 6 years olds at the house.

I really like the size and feel of it. I have come to expect a Sony reader's hardware to be top notch and they didn't disappoint with the 900. If you have ever used a Sony reader you will feel right at home with the button placement and menus.

Display/Readability:

I have never liked reading on any of the Sony touch screen readers, but the 900 is very readable. It still has too much glare when using a book light.

If you change to landscape view, PDF are readable without zooming. It takes 3 page turns to make it through a page.

3G/Sony Store:

Connecting to the store via 3G feels a little slow compared to the Kindle 2.

I wish you could preview a book like you can on the Kindle and Nook.

Newspapers on the 900 work very well.


Over all I like the device. I have owned every Sony Reader released in the US and I would put this in my Sony top 3;

1. PRS-505
2. PRS-300
3. PRS-900
