Hi,
I am looking into getting a portable reading device and I am having a difficult time deciding if it is worth buying Amazon’s SOLD OUT Kindle or just going for a couple hundred dollar cheaper Sony 505 model.
The Sony I am looking at seems to be comparable in quality to the Kindle. The only MAIN issue I have with the Sony is that I’m worried about where you can buy the books. Since unlike the Kindles you cannot just buy them on Amazon.com as far as I know.
So do you know where to buy the eBooks for the Sony?
So my main question is, is it worth it to buy a Kindle for about $400 or should I go with the Sony 505?
Oh and I would not be able to wait the 4-6 weeks to buy it from Amazon so I am stuck buying it from somewhere else for more expensive which is why the price of the Kindle would be around $400.
Thank you in advance!

I’d go with the Kindle if I were you. I have the Kindle and my sister bought the Sony 700, the touchscreen one. She’s way into the touchscreen tech – tablet PC, iPhone, iPod touch, Sony DSC-T700, etc.
I still liked my Kindle better. Except that the Sony Reader has a built in LED light. It’s $399.
You can buy books at ebookstore.sony.com. I found that Kindle books are cheaper than Sony ebooks.
Another advantage of Kindle is that you can buy books directly from your device. Whispernet is fantastic. So if you are living in an area that has Sprint coverage, you do not have to connect your Kindle to your computer. You can receive the books you purchase in under a minute.
If you really can’t wait, then go for the Sony reader, the opportunity cost is the Whispernet.
The best program I have seen is a READ ME program. It will read it for you and you can use different voices!
