So I'm going to be pulling trigger on a gift for my son's birthday. After much analsys, its going to be the new Sony
http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stor...comparison
They new touch screen model comes with the Perl e-ink and brighter screen. (one of the things that was pushing me to a kindle.
The thing it lacks is a wireless connection. But I dont really think this is that big of a deal.
The main reason for going with the Sony beyond the screen improvements is the direct epub and library DRM support. And the fact that you can share purchased books with others. Frankly I can see me buying 3 more of these.
Kindles lack of DRM support is a real ball buster. I understand the business model for doing so, but they are going to lose if their entire goal is to sell books. If Kindle had any sort of rumor or indication that they would ever support Library DRM and the ability to share books, it would be a no brainer.
