Which one: Sony PRS or Kindle?
Marielle asked:
I’ve been wanting an ebook, but i’m not sure which one to buy. I’ve done extensive research and both companies have flaws in their products, though i’m leaning more towards the Sony (PRS-600). I’m a full-time student and I just like to read on my downtime, between classes and when i’m traveling, so i need something that’s light and won’t take up much space. I would just like to know which eReader will meet this or if i should just simply wait until a better model comes out.

I’m a Kindle 2 owner. I’ll say the Kindle is much better than the Sony Reader because there are more books available for the Kindle, and books on the Kindle are cheaper than books on Sony Reader. I remember I read this review when I decide to buy my Kindle 2:
There is also a comparison here between the Kindle and the latest model of Sony Reader:
And you’re lucky that Amazon has just slashed the price of the Kindle 2 last month, and it is now $60 cheaper than the price when I get it.
Hope it helps

I’m a student too, and I have to agree that the Kindle is better than the Sony Reader. Read the review here to know more:
The Kindle can meet all your criterion, including light weight, small size, and an companion for your trip. And indeed I’ve got some textbooks on my Kindle, and it saved me some money as well as the weight of textbooks. I’ve mentioned more about textbooks on the Kindle here:
I own the Kindle 2 and I like it very much. It is better than Sony Reader because Amazon provide good content support, and the number of books available in Kindle format is kept on increasing (right now there are over 340,000 Kindle books). Sony Reader, however, many users complaint that it is difficult to find suitable books, and books on it are more expensive than the Kindle. Other benefits of the Kindle over Sony Reader include the free wireless internet access, and the text-to-speech function.
If you need to read PDF with charts and graphics, you may want to go for the Kindle DX. Read this review and you should be able to decide which one to get:
Hope this helps.
