   If you want a newspaper delivered each day, then the Kindle is your best bet because it will wirelessly appear on your Kindle each morning. The Sony doesn’t have wireless so you’d have to load it on to the reader from your computer each morning, and Sony currently doesn’t have any subscriptions, so you’d have to download Calibre (its free) and set it up to receive the newspaper you want (provided you can get it) from the internet.

   The ebooks from Amazon are much, much cheaper than Waterstones, especially considering the weak US dollar compared to pounds.

   A couple of examples: The Lost Symbol at Waterstones costs 13.29 pounds ($21.61) and Amazon sells it for $9.60, which comes to about $13.50 for the UK (there’s an additional $2 cost for all ebooks outside the US; some people will tell you that you can waive this extra $2 if you download the ebook to your computer but this is not true so don’t believe it). Also the EU charges VAT so that’s an additional 15 percent or so, and even after all that the ebooks still cost way less.

   Another example: Twilight is $4.25 US (approx. $6.89 for UK) from Amazon and is 5.59 pound ($9.09 US) from Waterstones.

   Also, there are a couple of other places to get UK ebooks, WHSmith and Books on Board, but I think you’ll find their prices are comparable to Waterstones.

   I’ll say the Kindle 2 instead of Sony Reader. Read here to know more:

   http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Freview%2FR266PE1Q47CYNH%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ASIN%3DB00154JDAI%26nodeID%3D%26ref%255F%3Dcm%255Fcr%255Fpr%255Fcmt&tag=more_info-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

   I own the Kindle 2 and I like it very much. It is better than Sony Reader because Amazon provide good content support, and the number of books available in Kindle format is kept on increasing (right now there are 300,000 Kindle books). Sony Reader, however, many users complain that it is difficult to find suitable books.

   And the main problem is that books on Sony Reader are much more expensive than that on the Kindle (tips: if you’re outside the U.S. all the Kindle books you see will have a price of US$2 added. But if you choose to download to computer when you check out, the $2 will be waived. So you can get the books US$2 cheaper even if you’re outside the United States, and you can copy the books to your Kindle through USB cable). And many Kindle books, magazines and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. Other benefits of the Kindle over Sony Reader include the free wireless internet access (now available internationally in many countries), and the text-to-speech function.

   And you know, Amazon gave a price drop for the Kindle 2 just before Xmas. It is now at a really good price.

   Hope this helps.

   The Amazon Kindle without a thought.

   Read this article to know more. It is written by a person who has tried Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader, and some other ebook readers. It is also the best review I’ve ever read about ebook readers:

   I’ll suggest you to get the Kindle instead of the Sony Reader. Read the end of this article too, it mentions something about Sony Reader, and other ebook readers:
