With different eReaders on the market one has to ask which product is better and why. To help you decide between the Sony Reader and the Amazon Kindle, we have examined both products for a series of elements. We looked at the size, weight, price, usability, and how you download the eBooks. This information has helped us reach the conclusion that the Amazon Kindle is still the better electronic reader on the market compared to the Sony Touch Edition. Sony does have other readers available, though.
Sony Touch Edition:
Kindle 3G
Size: 6.9x4.8x.4 inches
Weight: 10.1 ounces
The Sony Touch Edition is 9.99 at most stores and online. Best Buy is just one place you might find this reader if you are looking to test it out. When testing the device the power button was easy to see, as were the memory chips. You have clear instructions on how to use it. There is a button marked home that takes you to the book options you have, such as downloading a book or reading one in your storage files. There are two buttons on the left hand side of the bottom of the reader to flip from page to page. There was also an option button to change how pages are displayed and any resolution situations you might wish to correct. The downside to the Sony Reader is the lack of wireless connectivity. For the Touch Edition, you must use the USB cable to hook it up to your computer to download books.
Amazon Kindle:
Size: 7.5x5.3x.7 inches
Weight: 10.3 ounces
The first thing noticed about the Amazon Kindle is how it is set up. On the lower panel of the Kindle you have a keypad. It has all of the letters on a regular keyboard, plus the numbers. Along the right hand side the Kindle offers a menu, next page, previous page, and options buttons. The original wireless device has the next page and previous page options on both sides for comfortable handling. The latest generation of the Amazon Kindle is the Global Wireless for 9.00. It offers you 3G wireless technology to allow you on the internet from anywhere. It uses the same technology as mobile phones, so you do not have to look for a Wi-Fi hotspot.
The Amazon Kindle is slightly larger and heavier than the Sony Reader, but we are talking a very small difference. Usability shows that the keyboard on the Kindle allows you an easier time searching for books, pages, and any other option required. For .00 less than the Sony Touch Edition you also get access to the 3G network to download books directly to the Kindle, where as the Sony eReader requires you to hook up to a computer.
