Electronic Book Readers

Sony E Reader and other electronic books?

I am considering buying a Sony E Reader or other similar device. Have you any experience of these? Which one would you recommend? Is it easy to get files cheaply? I have seen CDs on Ebay that purport to have 10 or 20 books on them for transfer to an book and they are very cheap. Do they work? Thanks very much for your help.

I'll say the Kindle 2 instead of Sony Reader. Read here to know more:

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 300,000 Kindle books). Sony Reader, however, many users complain that it is difficult to find suitable books.

And the main problem is that books on Sony Reader are much more expensive than that on the Kindle (tips: if you're outside the U.S. all the Kindle books you see will have a price of US$2 added. But if you choose to download to computer when you check out, the $2 will be waived. So you can get the books US$2 cheaper even if you're outside the United States, and you can copy the books to your Kindle through USB cable). And many Kindle books, magazines and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. Other benefits of the Kindle over Sony Reader include the free wireless internet access (now available internationally in many countries), and the text-to-speech function.

For the books inside CD from eBay, if they are in formats supported by the Kindle then it can be read on it. See "Files Kindle Recognizes" section here to see what formats are supported by the Amazon Kindle:

And you know, Amazon gave a price drop for the Kindle 2 just before Xmas. It is now at a really good price.

Hope this helps.

Electronic E Reader things?

My dad is buying me an electronic e reader for christmas. he wants me to research it and find the right one. what I want to know is, which one will let me download my college text books? will any of them let me? i found this one the Sony Reader Digital Book with touch screen - PRS700BC and it allows me to take notes and highlight, but will it let me download my text books?

The Sony Reader PRS700BC do not have good feedback actually, especially for its screen. Many people complains that the screen is glare, so it is not good for your eyes for reading in long term.

Not sure if it helps, but I love my Kindle 2 very much. Between the Kindle and the Sony Reader, I'll suggest you to go for the Kindle instead of Sony. The Kindle is better because it has free wireless and text-to-speech function. There are more ebooks you can find available for the Kindle, and books on the Kindle are quite a lot cheaper too. There are some good comparison between them here:

I got several textbooks on my Kindle. Here you can find textbooks for the Kindle:

And in case you don't know, Amazon has recently put a price slash on the Kindle 2, and it adds in international wireless access and native PDF support... So take the chance if you want it.

Hope it helps
