sony reader vs kindle
The Kindle includes a rather unwieldy thumb keyboard, which is necessary for typing in URLs and searching for books, since it has limited web-browsing capabilities and access to the Kindle online store. [...] The Sony Reader, weighting in at slightly less than an actual paperback, is the reigning champ, and the Amazon Kindle’bigger, heavier (at almost 11oz), and stronger’is the contender. [1]
The following is a detailed comparison between kindle and the Sony Reader(PRS-505). [2]
I’m not sure I’ve seen a gadget blogged about as much as the Kindle. [3]
And it has something that no ebook reader has: access to 3G network cellular broadband, trumping even the iPhone for download speeds. [4]
Honestly, I bought this thing to read books purchased from the amazon store. [...] I didn’t even realize I had a problem till I read a sample chapter of a book I purchased on the Sony Sore. [3]
But like the iPod, the Kindle has a massive digital content distribution infrastructure behind it, with deals already in place for thousands of books and various newspaper, magazine and blog subscriptions. [4]
Anyway, I think compared to the Sony Reader, there is no question that the Kindle is a much better device… methinks it’s only going to get better. [3]
In this case the Reader will have to resize your files to display on its screen. [...] If you prefer to listen to your books as opposed to reading them, Kindle gives you the option of downloading and listening to audio books from Audible.com. [2]
Okay, perhaps smackdown is a bit of a stretch when comparing what are perhaps the most milquetoast and genteel electronic devices ever made, but there is a battle of the heavyweights going on for control of the eBook buying public (all fifteen of them). [1]
Kindle bypasses this requirement when in a wireless coverage area. [2]
It can natively display Sony BBeB eBook format, PDF, and Rich Text Format documents (which all word processors can export). [1]
If you were to wander blindly into a store, and without reading any product cards or talking to any sales reps, pick up all four of these devices, you would no doubt pick Sony’s Portable Reader. [4]
