Shepherd Ching Il y a 16 années About black and white:As same as Sony Reader, there is no color and no nightime reading because their design is saving battery power.About functions:Last time BChan has pointed out that the weakness of Sony Reader, no search function for Bible study. But now Amazon Kindle is better, it has keyboard, search and other functions than Sony Reader.About running cost:1. Sony Reader is a pdf reader. (One time off, no strange attached)2.

Ivan Cheung Il y a 16 années Although Sony's ebook reader name is funky, I'd have to say that Amazon's 'Kindle' is a bit ambiguous. Will Kindle be a beacon of knowledge in the dark? I think not.

Completely ambiguous, weird, and yet, now part of everyday vernacular.Librie is hard to say, hard to remember, and has no connection to to anything.So at least Kindle has some tangential connection, in that it kindles within you the burning desire to read, and illuminates our lives with it's easy access to information Veuillez vous identifier pour voter.
