Sony PRS-505 VS The Kindle
The kindle has finally come to the UK and has already failed for me.
I was looking at getting a Kindle a long time ago and finally gave up waiting and went out and bought the Sony. Boy am I relieved I did.
There are more than 4 reasons why I am glad I got the Sony instead of the Kindle but here are the top 4.
- The keyboard on the bottom of the Kindle increases it’s size. The Sony is just the right size (although it does have faults of its own)
- The Kindle uses its own DRM Format whereas the Sony supports what is becoming the industry standard EPub.
- The Kindle books can only be bought on Amazon and they are going to rip off UK customers by about 40% compared to their US customers.
- The buttons on the kindle look to be badly placed. I can’t see how I would hold it when reading in bed for example without catching those buttons by mistake.
