OT-E Reader
Lucille
has one and can give me a heads up on which might be better.
I've been reading reviews and they all seem very similar. I'm only
interested in downloading books and reading them. Don't need a lot of
storage because the kinds of books I'm thinking of aren't classics that need
to be kept forever for rereading or studying; just the kind of books that
can be deleted immediately upon finishing the last page.. I looked at
Sony, Kindle, Barnes & Nobel's Nook? Pricewise they're all similar as well
so that doesn't help a lot.
Help!!!!

A co-worker has a Kindle and LOVES it. She got it after she had been injured
in car accident and couldn't hold much of anything and she loves to read.
The Kindle was light enough she could hold it and not have any issues.

They all do that but the claim is that the Kindel sounds robotic and the
other a little garbled.

I think the Kindle and the Sony have MP3 as well. I'm not sure because
that wasn't important to me.
I might just wait till after the holidays are over and then go and see each
one to make a proper comparison.

I've been watching, and have never seen it below $250.

Maybe the Sony will to down. Probably not, but it's worth the wait for me.

You might want to read Walt Mossberg's review of the Nook which
was in the WSJ this week. A link can be found on the All Things
Digital page of WSJ. And you might find a past column about the
Kindle.

I gave Jim one for his birthday, the Kindle2, as soon as it came out. I
therefore forwarded your post to him. He is very happy with it. Below is
his reply
"My only comment is.....the Kindle has been around much longer than the
others and has learned a lot from past problems. They seem to really
have their act together. The other readers are new-comers riding on the
coat tails of Kindle's success. The others may well be better, but I
only know what I read."
Also this interesting link.
