what should i buy Nook eReader, Sony eReader or Kindle 2?


I am after the formats which the device can read. more formats the better.
another thing is that I live in the Philippines and i don't know which of the 3 will work better here. Also if i can download eBook from my laptop to my e-reader anytime.

I have read article about these eReaders but I can't find a way to pick just one so if you could please help me.:D

thanks a lot guys. :)

I own the Kindle 2 and I like it very much. I'll say if you like to read you'll definitely like the Kindle. It is available to the Philippines and it even has free 3G wireless in your country. Yes, you can download ebooks to your laptop and copy them to the Kindle anytime, as you can see "Transferring Files via USB" section here for details:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fhelp%2Fcustomer%2Fdisplay.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26nodeId%3D200375630&tag=more_info-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

I've mentioned pretty much for Kindle over the Nook here:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091215133036AAQAH0Q

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

http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Freview%2FR266PE1Q47CYNH%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ASIN%3DB00154JDAI%26nodeID%3D%26ref%255F%3Dcm%255Fcr%255Fpr%255Fcmt&tag=more_info-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

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.

The refurbished version is cheaper, but it only has free wireless within U.S., while the new Kindle has free international wireless. 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.

Sony eReader or Kindle 2?


The Sony comes with 100 free books and can decode many formats, books stored on computer or SD cards, the Kindle has Whispernet, costs $80 more, stores your books online, and decodes limited formats. Which should I choose?

If you are in United States, you should go for Kindle 2 for sure. Kindle can have books stored on computer too. If you have purchased too many eBooks and cannot hold in Kindle 2's memory, you can choose to let them stay in Amazon Kindle server too, just download them when needed. The 100 free books from Sony eReader may not be your taste. I'll choose whatever I like from Kindle book store, which provide ebooks cheaper than the paperbacks.

There is a good comparison on this here:
