The consensus on Kindle vs Sony is that the Kindle wins out for ergonomics & for folks who read more current books & who don't have a lot of computer knowledge. If you read more classics & like managing content & fiddling with gadgets, then the Sony is a good choice.

I've been back and forth about ereaders and so I read every post a book blogger does about the one they have. I always take way more books than I need on vacation because I'm paranoid I'll run out -- having a ton on an ereader would make things so much easier :) Thanks for posting about this!

I haven't met any serious readers who didn't fall in love with a Kindle once they had it a few days. It's just too much fun to carry so many books around and be able to access them with such ease. The fact that you can be read TO and hear MP3 files on it is a super huge bonus. So glad you've joined the club! I knew you’d love it!

I bought one back last spring before I went to Germany. It was great to load it full of books before I went on my long, transatlantic flight. I still brought a few books but felt great knowing I had 20 books on my Kindle! Glad you love your Kindle. I bought one back last spring before I went to Germany.

I was listening to something the other day (I think it was the audiobook I'm listening to, "The Case for Books") that mentioned a company in France was giving out stickers with that old book smell for people to put on their computer so they got the book smell when they read a digital book.

But really glad to read what you think - it's my future at some point. Most likely when the library's format supports it. Jealous!
