I’ve been on the fence about buying a new ebook reader. Right now, I mostly read my ebooks either from my laptop (awful on eyes) or my pocket PC (also not as good on eyes)

but I had my reservations about buying the Sony Reader without seeing it in person. Yeah, the pictures look neat, and nah, I don’t necessarily need the pink one. I just sort of want the pink one because it comes with free romance ebooks. 😉 Always good… yes?

But now I’ve seen it. I was at the Y yesterday and a guy had one…not the pink one. 😉 After I interrupted his reading time and probably freaked him out, he let me fiddle around with his and showed me the features.

The “e-ink” deal is for real. It is like reading on paper. There’s no glare like a PC screen, you can change the font size…more you can have pics, music, etc on it.

No, it doesn’t have Amazon’s “whispernet” which is a cool platform. But I don’t care for the way the Kindle looks, and I don’t always care much for Amazon, either. So I’ve made up my mind. Here in the next few weeks, or less, I’m getting a Sony Reader.
