Ereader Screen

Should I get one of the older Sony Readers or the new touch screen one?

I would like to get an eReader and am looking at the Sony Reader. I am looking at all of them, but have a Sony specific question. Should I get one of the new ones that has a touch screen or one of the older ones? What is the difference between them? Is the older version just as good but just without the touch screen? Is the touch screen more of the type you have to press rather than touch? Thanks!

It all depends if the glare on the touchscreen bothers you or not. Some people hate it and others don't have a problem with it. The Touch is my primary ebook reader and I love it because the touchscreen is easy to use and I can write notes directly on the page.

It's not as sensitive as a cellphones touchscreen because it would always be turning pages if you barely touched it, but you don't have to press really hard or anything.

Some people prefer the 505 over the 600 because it has better contrast; that's it's main advantage, having darker text.

The 600 is much faster and is better for PDFs because it can zoom in and pan around the page. It also has a dictionary that I use all the time.

Here's my review of it, and a video demo.

One last thing, the 505 is no longer made and can be really hard to find at a decent price. It actually sells for more than the 600 on Amazon right now. If you decide to buy it, I'd suggest calling around to all your local Walmarts, Targets, and other major chain stores to see if they have any left.

Cheap Ebook Reading Solution?

Right now, I'm in a country where any electronic gear is a bit overpriced. Without considering what might be available in my particular (undisclosed) location:

What is the cheapest eBook reading solution available?

I found a site with LOT of free eBooks (ones which don't look horrible) and I would like to take advantage of the English titles which are hard to find here.

I considered my phone, but have not found an ebook reader, plus the screen would be a pain to read anything long on.

The Sony book reader, and the iLiad eReader are both VERY expensive, even in the States.

What about a palm? An old model palm or other pda? One that is easy on the eyes?

All suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks for answering

Buy any Pocket PC / Windows Mobile 2002, 2003 2003SE or 2005 (WM5) device (they are pretty cheap on eBay). You can install Microsoft Pocket Reader for free - and there's THOUSANDS of free ebooks available online. It's a GREAT reader program - you'll never know how you did without it. Microsoft also supply a free plug-in for Microsoft Word that allows you to create ebooks from Word documents. Listed below also
