Which is the better buy: a Kindle or a Sony Reader?
-
I want to get my mom one of the new electronical readers for christmas. She thinks the Kindle is better than the Sony Reader but I think the Sony Reader would be much better for her. Which one is better? Which one has the less chances of crashing, being difficult to use, easier to download books, ect.

Answer:
I'll suggest you to go for the Kindle instead of Sony. The Kindle is better because it has free wireless and text-to-speech function. There are more ebooks you can find available for the Kindle too. There are some good comparison between them here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Freview%2FR3ULAFVHBGYVQP%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref%255F%3Dcm%255Fcr%255Frdp%255Fperm&tag=moreinfo-po-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957 http://www.speedreaderxreview.com/kindle-2-0-vs-sony-reader-prs-700bc-comparison And in case you don't know, Amazon has recently put a price slash on the Kindle 2, and it adds in international wireless access and native PDF support... So take the chance if you want it. Hope it helps :)

Maybe you should check out the Nook Reader by Barnes & Noble. It's touch screen and the display is color. Check it out yourself at http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nook/index.asp?cm_mmc=redirect-_-internal-_-storefront-_-nook

I think the Kindle is better. I don't own either, but a friend has the Kindle and loves it. She showed me all about it. I'm asking for the Kindle for Christmas.
IMO
A Kindle would be your best bet. The Kindle has slightly more features than the Sony Reader. Check the Kindle specs here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015T963C?ie=UTF8&tag=thebubrocpro-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015T963C

Both are the two best ebook readers currently on the market, but if your mom likes the Kindle better you should get her that because that's what she wants. My 2 cents. You can research more about them here: http://www.the-ebook-reader.com

I have the kindle. It has never crashed on me, is extremely easy to use/download books, etc. Its been one of the most simple electronic gadgets I've ever known. And if it does crash, Amazon customer service is beyond excellent.

I own the Kindle 2, and it is easy for me to say I love it! I think I've read over 20 books so far. I love my Kindle because it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I owned the Kindle, waiting time like when I'm waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can "read" books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I've myself busy on some boring things, say when I'm on the step machine or doing some housework... I like reading and at the beginning I missed a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books... Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don't feel tired. Below is where you can purchase your own from amazon.com:
