gizmodo.com — During the past week, many readers have asked us to compare the physical traits of the second-gen Sony Reader and the all-new Amazon Kindle. (If you feel a bit behind, catch up by reading our full Amazon Kindle review and verdict from last Friday.) The Sony Reader is much smaller, and weighs three ounces less than the Kindle, but the screens are ex

I personally only find the Kindle interesting because of the wireless service. My parents are retired and even though they are technically able, are not interested in booting a computer to get email or download anything. Also they are moving to the middle of nowhere PA so won't have internet access or newspaper delivery. They are avid readers and Verizon does work where they are, so this actually provides newspapers to those who couldn't get them. Also it sounds like it will give me the ability to send them email without them having to pay a monthly fee, though I am sure I will be charged for that service. Does this sound feasible?

I still think these devices are obsoleted by more ubiquitous multi-purpose devices, like mobile phones and dare I say it, the iPhone.

Comparati's size comparisons are much better than Sizemodo's. Go to the upper right hand corner... so cool.<a class="user" href="http://comparati.com/1125-Amazon-Kindle-vs-Sony-Reader">http://comparati.com/1125-Amazon-Kindle-vs-Sony-Re ...</a>But seriously... does an extra 1/4 inch make a difference in something that's not pocket-sized to start with?

We will then have the best of both worlds. Sony is missing some key features and content while Amazon is clueless about device designs. and other Comparison can see more .. <a class="user" href="http://www.digital-camcorder-reviews.net/">http://www.digital-camcorder-reviews.net/</a>

I received my Kindle today and I have to say "NO" to the haters. This is a killer reader. Here are some pros and cons: Pros 1. The reader response time is excellent and the display is crisp and clear. 2. The interface is extremely intuitive and well-designed. 3. Shopping in the Kindle store is extremely easy and relatively fast 4. Page and menu navigation are easy and well thought out. 5. The mp3 player works very well so audio books would be great as well 6. In general it's a great design in perhaps not the most beautiful package. 7. Great non-skid backing Cons: 1. The keyboard can be a bit slow to respond while shopping. 2. It's a tad uncomfortable to hold without the book cover but I'll manage. 3. Pricey All things considered, I'm extremely pleased with the Kindle. The device is already registered and it is ready to go as soon as you unpack it. <a class="user" href="http://astore.amazon.com/kindle.amazon.kindle-20/detail/B000FI73MA/104-3826599-7083938">http://astore.amazon.com/kindle.amazon.kindle-20/d ...</a><a class="user" href="http://astore.amazon.com/buy.cheap.amazon.kindle.ebook.reader-20">http://astore.amazon.com/buy.cheap.amazon.kindle.e ...</a>

Most of the books I looked at today were only priced 1-2 dollars cheaper than their paperback counterparts if they existed at all, so I would need to repurchase my old books if I wanted to have them available in the kindle format and still end up paying 80% of the paperback cost for a digital copy only available on the kindle. Not to mention a number of books which are not available at all. So for it to break even with the cost of paperbacks I would need to purchase about 150 books most likely some of which I already owned but wanted to have available in this new format ... not a winner for me.Maybe someday
