Sony Reader Ereader

Not considering the Whispernet (since I don't live in the US) what's the best reader, Kindle2 or Sony Reader?

I want to buy an eReader, but since I live abroad I have no use for Kindle 2's Whispernet function (I'd have to download books through my broadband).

Every review I read stated that Kindle 2 is way better than Sony Reader, but they all point to the Whispernet connection as THE main advantage.

So taking that aside, would you still recommend Kindle 2 over the Sony Reader?

It is definitely not a good choice for the Kindle, if you are outside the United States. You know, Amazon doesn't sell the Kindle outside the U.S. Even if you find way to get one, it will still be a headache on how to get the digital ebooks (Kindle books) to read, or when you want to order new ebooks, because they are bounded by import/export laws and you need to have a U.S. credt card to order them on Amazon (it is the only place which sells Kindle books right now). See the last third question from the Kindle 2 FAQ here for details:

I'll suggest you to go for sony reader PRS-505 instead, quite a lot of people like it more than the Kindle 2 because it has better PDF support. The price is cheaper too. See a review below from an actual customer who compares the latest versions of sony readers and the Kindle:

Hope that helps.

How can I transfer a book from Barnes & Nobles ereader to Sony reader library? Is it possible?

I want to read on my Sony Reader
Never mind I cant

No, you cannot. E-books on ebook readers are all protected by DRM, and they can only be read with their specific device.

BTW, I've given a detailed review and a comparison of a few ebook readers here, guess you'll be interested:
