Kindle or Sony?

Posted Sun Oct 5, 2008 in

The idea of an electronic book is appealing to me. I would like to carry all of my library with me all the time. I want my reference books handy when I’m working at the office, at home, or on the road. There are times when I just want to read a bit.

I looked at a Sony Reader at the local Borders bookstore. I was tempted, but decided to wait and do some research, because I was also aware of Amazon’s Kindle.

In the end I decided to do nothing for the moment. There are still things I don’t understand about the technology. There are books I want available that are not. I’m not going to buy an expensive device just because it’s a cool toy. (Ahem. Stop it!) I understand both Sony and Amazon are in the process of bringing out improved products. I’m going to see what they bring and then make a decision.
