Amazon managed to make the paper book seem inconvenient. If that doesn’t tell you that just about everything can be made easier, I don’t know what will. People (and I’m one of the them) are willing to drop hundreds of dollars for a book reading device that still doesn’t format as well as a paper book. But it’s so light and so much easier to hold in one hand than a hardcover book. You can lay it flat on the table. You can carry lots of books around easily, which is very nice for a traveler like me. And you can get books in an instant with the wireless connection, which is soooo much more convenient than plugging the device into a PC for a sync. I sometimes feel ridiculous saying things like that, but I’m not going back.  And I’m not alone; people write long blog posts professing their love of the convenience the Kindle brings.

Like the Sony Reader, it offers clear content transference, ease of turning pages, and a wide variety of choices. The Kindle is as good or better than a printed paper book. I have read scores of books on the device and, while I am a partisan to the concept, I am now convinced that the e-book revolution is on the verge of a giant breakout. The SONY Reader is certainly a worthy and reader friendly device, but it is still tethered to the computer companion for selection and purchase and its proprietary software could eventually be a hindrance. I can’t imagine that SONY is not revving up their development to compete head to head with the Kindle. I am also a fan of the Kindle.
