Great reviews and discussion on this!
We're looking at the whole iPad (what exactly does it do? asks DH) versus reader versus utilise that old pc we don't want anymore.
DH likes the idea that I'll scan recipes and reduce the enormous pile of books in the kitchen.
I like the idea of modding my fave forum from the sofa and reading without glasses.
My reading-resistant 12 yo daughter likes the idea of an easier page to read.
We're also considering a reader for my Mum who does dialysis 3 times a week and can only use her left hand during the 4+ hour procedure. She's right handed so everything is a bit tricky. She's so non-tech she can't even use a cellphone but how hard is it to push that button on the kobo?!
I'd heard that the Sony is really good so it's interesting to hear the comparison with the kobo. At the moment, in New Zealand, the kobo is the only one readily available and it's priced pretty well. The iPad hasn't hit the shops yet but it'll be just over twice the price. A good deal for all the added value.
I imagine we'll debate the different technology for a while yet but I think I might try to get a Kobo home sometime soon
