Help with E-Readers. Best Price/Quality/Awsomeness/Book Selection.?

by Kindle 3 on September 27, 2009

Okay, I know that Christams is in a couple of months, but I want to make sure that I know what I want. I’ve been thinkging about those e-readers. I love to read. I’m pretty young, only 13, but I think I’m ready for one. I’m very responsible. So, I’ve been looking at some readers latley. First of, I hate those Amazon Kindles. Hate them. They look horrible, and cheap, even though they are not cheap. I’ve never liked them. Especially the new DX one. Way over priced. Well, at least I think so. It’s also way too big. I kind of like the Sony ones. But not the non touch screans one. The 505 or something, I do not like. I like the 700, it looks pretty good. 6 inch screan. Good. They are coming out with a new one in December, and it looks good.. but it’s pretty expensive. I would kind of feel bad if I did get it, because I went on a pretty expensive trip last year and stuff with my class… Anywhoo.. I’ve also been looking at the Cool-er. I do not like that it is not a touch screan. But the price is pretty good. I mean, I got my i that price.. The size looks good. I’m kind of woried that there is not a lot of book selection.. Like, I went on the website, and looked up some of my favorite books. They had not even half of them. Also, they are a UK company, and I am not sure that they would ship to the US.. Also, There’s this one called the Hanvan or something. Even though they only ship in China, I wouldn’t even get it because the screan is smaller than the Sony 700, yet the Hanvan is more expensive.. Sooo.. I’m not sure what I should get… This is going to have a lot of thinking even before I tell my Father. I’m sure he would spend about 0.. or something. And my birthday is in February, so I could maybe combine them into one present.. I love touch screans.. I will not get the new Sony, because I do not like the size, and way too exppensive. Or, sould I get the Cool-er, because it will be my first e-reader. This is way comfusing… Could you maybe help me out.. And maybe recomend some if you have ever had an e-reader. Sorry this is so long. Thanks. :)
Also, I know that Plastic Logic is teaming up with Barnes and Nobles, so they will have a pretty big book selection, but I’m not a fan of the gadget itself..

The Amazon Kindle and the Sony Reader are the two best e-readers. Although you do not like the Kindle, I’ve to say that many people choose it over Sony Reader, because you can get books on it cheaper, and it has more functions compared to the Sony Reader. You can read more here from a previous owner of Sony Reader:

The Kindle 2 has dropped its price to under $300, so you may want to reconsider to get it.

Hope it helps.

I also think that the Kindle suits the best of your need, as compared to the Sony Reader. Read here to know more:

I own the Kindle 2 and I like it very much. It is better than Sony Reader because Amazon provide good content support, and the number of books available in Kindle format is kept on increasing (right now there are over 350,000 Kindle books). Sony Reader, however, many users complain that it is difficult to find suitable books, and books on it are more expensive than the Kindle. Other benefits of the Kindle over Sony Reader include the free wireless internet access, and the text-to-speech function.

Hope this helps.

If you’ve around $300, get the Kindle 2 then. I highly recommend you to read this review, it is the best one for the Kindle I’ve ever read:
