Sony Reader Edition (Digital Reader)

[Catrin]

I should probably get the Kindle because it is cheaper, but I LIKE the Sony Digital Reader. Had several in the past, gave one to my sister and replaced it with the touch screen version which I didn't like so much so I gifted it.

I am going to replace it, while I will never give up on real books, the digital reader is kinder to my hands where large books are concerned. It is also nice that I can "borrow" books from my library with this device

I am trying to decide between the Sony Daily Reader Edition (7 inch screen, free 3G and wireless) or the smaller 5 inch screen and non-connected Pocket edition. The 6 inch "touch" version is in the running as well, it appears to just be a larger version of the pocket edition. Every generation of their readers are rather different from previous generations.

We USED to have a local Sony Style Store but they closed it this year

I did find a review that indicates the screen glare problem with earlier generations of their touch screen readers have been solved. So now I have to decide if I really need/want that larger screen + connectivity...that could be money toward my Gunner I am very tempted...

Curious how useful the 3G/wireless connection actually is.
