Nice review, the prs700 has made some improvements. Now it has a touchscreen, a sidelight and a cleaner button interface. Especially the cleaner button interface is much better than before. I have also found a nice review of the sony prs=700 reader

Yes, you are correct. I still don’t understand why Amazon took the expansion slots away when they rolled out the second generation model…arggg.

The other thing I have noticed is the Sony has card reading /expansion slots.. The Kindle doesn’t. It you have a large elibrary the card slots will save you the headache of having to constantly connect to a computer to swap files.

Unfortunately, the early reviews of the new Sony PRS-600 (and PRS-300) aren’t that much better regarding the screen issue. You can read my post about it here:

I’ve been a Sony Reader user since the Sony PRS-505 was released and then upgraded to the PRS-700 later. I would have loved to try a Kindle but apparently there are issues with owning a Kindle outside the US and I’m based in Italy. I agree that the PRS-700’s weak contrast makes reading a bit strained; the 505 fares better in this regard. Hopefully, they’ve corrected this “glaring” (pun intended) error in the soon-to-be-released models.

I take it you’re a Sony fan…lol. There is no doubt the Kindle is the “darling” of the ebook readers. However, there is definitely a place for the Sony Readers. I personally prefer the Kindle because most of what I read are newer books and I like the fact that I can be laying in bed or sitting in my lazy boy and I can download a book within seconds.

The Sony Reader is one cool gadget which I think can give Amazon’s Kindle a run for its money — it has a sleeker look, uses touch screen tech, and supports PDF without the user going through hoops for it. Am I the only one here who thinks there is too much hype surrounding the K?

Tamrat: I'm assuming you're referring to the ebooks at the Sony eBook store. Unfortunately, their store is only available to U.S. and Canadian customers at this time. You may want to check out the Sony-UK site for availability in the U.K. as well. Travis
