Amazon Kindle VS Sony PRS Series Ereader?
The eReader era is here – eReaders are becoming more and more popular.
Amazon Kindle 2 has is currently dominating the market, but many other manufacturers are very close behind. The Sony PRS series is the closest runner-up. This reality in mind, many have sent me emails asking which model they should get.
There are advantages to each of the models, but there are also differences you should know about that can influence your buying decision.
The Kindle is a natural choice for many potential users. With its wireless connectivity and the huge arsenal of books, newspapers, magazines and blogs, the choice has already been made in the minds of many.
One should be aware, though, of the conversion required to view PDF files on the Amazon Kindle. With not so perfect results, many students and business professionals should think again before ordering the Kindle.
The reality is that most of the academic materials are available in PDF format. And, the fact is that Kindle’s conversion algorithm often makes documents display in an awkward way, often having alignment problems. The same is applicable to business documents.
The Sony PRS series ereaders, on the other hand, offer a native PDF support, making them a natural choice for those who consume PDF files. Although reviews say that the Sony ereaders are a little more difficult to master and the lack of wireless connectivity makes the experience a bit different than with Amazon’s Kindle.
But, that’s where things line up. Students and business users would have a computer and an internet connection available to them anyway, due to their lifestyle.
In conclusion:
If you happen to be a newspaper person and read lots of magazines, you would love the Kindle with its way of delivering fresh papers every morning. You will also most certainly like the easy purchase experience that the Kindle offers.
On the other hand, if you know that you will mainly read files in the PDF format, you should go for the Sony PRS series. The native PDF support is so worth it.
