Hello! Out of Lurkdom

RiverY · 07-26-2010, 11:52 PM

Hi.

I live in a mixed device household. My SO has a Sony PRS 505, that he got it in March '08, and absolutely loves. I got my first Kindle in April '08, and won't go anywhere without it. It's been down hill ever since.

"My device is better than your device." Is an ongoing discussion in our house (all in fun, of course).

It is great to have a forum that is not device specific.

Hi RiverY and welcome to MobileRead. Sorry, but I'm with your SO on this one. I've had a Sony 505 since January 2008 and really like it.

Thanks for all the welcomes.

I have to agree with many of you that the Sony is a fine device. My husband bought his on a whim, at Borders, and loved it immediately. We decided I should get a reader, too (no more space in the house).

What I liked about the Kindle, was the selection (in '08 Sony had a mere 20,000 titles

), and the price differences (again, in '08 Amazon often offered titles for less). I do have to admit I also like the wireless downloads.

If I had to buy my first reader now, it would be a real difficult choice.
