Finally brought a Sony!

faithbw · 09-08-2011, 09:39 AM

A few months ago, I posted about whether or not to get a Sony or a Nook. Initially, I bought a nook classic. It served my needs initially but I admit that after a while I got tired of reading on it and was back to reading mostly paper books. Well, a couple of weeks ago, I decided to buy another e-reader, this time a touch one. I initially bought a Nook STR. Well, I went across the street to a closing Borders and saw the Sony 350 for $89.99. I could not resist!

Finally, my chance to get the Sony I wanted for a low price! So I brought the Sony and returned the unopened Nook STR.

I love my Sony! It's so light and I love reading on it. The text really is very crisp. The collections are nice too. Highlighting and looking up words is so much easier on the Sony. I love finally having an e-reader that I can hold in my hand comfortably for an extended period of time.

As for the nook classic, I gave it to my mom. She is going to auction it off in the fall to help raise money for a Sunday school program. So, it will hopefully go to a loving new home.

ETA: If a mod sees this, could you change "brought" to "bought" in the title? Thanks!

I'm glad you like your 350, faithbw. I have the pink one and like it very much. It's very nice of you to give away your Nook Classic for a good cause.

You "bought" it, you mean. If you "brought" it then you would be bringing it somewhere.

Damn it I can't believe this was my first post, but I got distracted by the title on the way to the Nook section.

Hi everyone.

Congratulations.

I love my Sony 350. I won a Nook Touch or Kindle3 in a raffle but gave the option to my sister-in-law. I have a Kindle & Nook Classic & have tried the Nook Touch. I really prefer my little 350 to all of them.

Hi everyone.

Sorry about that.

You are right! Thanks for the correction!

What is the battery life like on the Sony?

My 950 seems to go 3 weeks to a month, with WiFi off. I'm pleased with the battery life, it's just fine. And I read a lot.

faithbw · 09-14-2011, 10:13 PM

I haven't had my Sony for long (~1 month) but the battery life is great! It's much better than the classic nook I had previously. The battery hasn't gone dead on me yet. The lowest I have gotten is three bars but if I sync a new book to it, I usually just leave it connected to my computer until it is full again. I say that it takes about a week for it to get to three bars.
