Very biased review. Everything that Amazon had an advantage he would say clear advantage Kindle. The things the 700 where better at he would give it a disclaimer "depending on your use" advantage Sony. Sorry PDF support is big. O yeah did he talk about how Sony does not just delete books off of your device like Amazon does. I do not own ether Im just looking for reviews on all e-readers to see which one to buy, but I will not be using this review.

[ebookreadersresource]

If you will be using a reader primarily to read the latest "best-selling" books and just popular books in general, then stick with the Kindle. You'll also get access to newspapers and magazines with the Kindle. If you'll primarily be reading PDF files, then stick with the Sony.

OK what about the touch screen of sony? It is not an advantage for sony? Really BIASED review!

[ebookreadersresource]

Yes, touch screen is nice but if you read the reviews from those that own the latest Sony Reader, the touch screen function has lessened the quality of the display screen. It's not as clear and readable as the old 505.

please help with two questions

\why does the kindle have a keyboard? can you do word processing?

\and more importantly, it mentions how the kindle supports other formats, can i write my own stuff and put it on there? and how do i do that, is there a computer cable to transfer my own contant?

[ebookreadersresource]

It has a keyboard so that you can type notes, do searches, and mainly "browse" the Kindle store (and other online sites). If you write something and save it as a PDF and then have it converted, then you could download it to your Kindle. In other words, you can't create a Word document and then just download it to the Kindle. The unit does come with a USB cable to connect to your computer.

what kind of review is this?

"Kindle: no external memory--

Sony: Up to 16 GB memory stick....

And the winner is: ???DRAW???".

[pcmattesful]

The winner is Kindle 2.

[SELECE101]

i'm in middle school and my mom wants to buy me a kindle i have a couple of questions to ask...

1) how much does the kindle cost?

2) can you surf the web for it to look for books like in google, etc?

3) where can you buy it?

4) does it come in balck or white?

[mornmeril]

@ebookreadersresource You can get best-selling books in e-book format in more places than amazon, you know. Or do you? Then again, I realize this is an american review. In Europe we have a lot more regular bookstore networks that also sell ebooks online and you can download them in almost every ebook format to read on your pc or mac or tablet or whatever and guess what? They don't go poof because one day the retailer decided to pull the publication off the shelf. Once you buy it, you keep it.

Nice comparison thanks.

this review is quiet biased to kindle.. lol its disgusting

[felo790]

Can I buy kindle at regualr stores? Im asking beacause im from Brazil and my father will go to US. I am afraid to order on internet, because I may have to pay 70% import taxes.

[babaikaushik]

I have a number of e-books in PDF format downloaded from different sites...I was wondering whether I can transfer those files to Kindle through USB in Kindle 2 & Kindle DX now

[HarryBallbag]

@rancwr

I was swayed by the Sony because of the native pdf processing. Thanks for this additional information too.

[bostonbytes]

What about DRM and checking books out of the library? Only Sony does that...Dude- do your research.

[sandy22queen]

Is this true to the Sony Reader PRS600?
