Cons Glare can make it hard to read.

Recommended it? Yes

I fell in love with the idea of an E-Book reader when I saw a friend using her Kindle to read a newspaper. I've wanted one ever since, but the price always made it prohibitive. Still, I've been looking at both the Kindle and Sony eBook reader for awhile. This past Valentine's day, I came across a... Read full review »

Pros Format friendly, expandable memory, and good size and weight

Cons Many complain of the glare and recommend trading up to the 650

Recommended it? No

This thing is an ergonomic disaster. It will do the things a reader should, and does them well. However, a very big however, it is very difficult to hold without inadvertently touching the screen at some point. When that happens, it goes bonkers. If one sits on one's deck at... Read full review »
