    Sony Reader and the Kindle are the two most popular e-readers. But I’ll suggest the Kindle 2, unless you are outside the United States (because Amazon doesn’t allow order of the Kindle outside the U.S.). The biggest issue is the content availability. The Kindle is supported by Amazon with much more book selections. Kindle books are also cheaper than the actual books, so it will save you money in long term. Amazon also provide thousands of Kindle books for free or at a low price. Sony reader is much weaker in this area.
    There is a good comparison here about the latest versions of the two digital book readers:http://www.speedreaderxreview.com/kindle…
    And here is a review on the Kindle 2 from a owner of many ebook readers, see if it helps:http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?i…

    Type “portable e-book readers” into your search bar (as I did), and you will be taken to a page where there are a number of ads from different companies for their readers. I’ve had no experience with electronic readers; I doubt that I’d prefer them to reading actual books. I do know that the Kindle device is very expensive initially, but, if its rentals are reasonable, it may pay for itself eventually in comparison with buying books. Of course, the library is free! Still, you must read library books in specified time spans.

    This article present 5 eBook readers that are potential alternatives for the kindle: http://www.tech-no-media.com/2009/05/ebook-readers-5-kindle-alternatives.html
    The main advantage of the kindle is that you can use the whispernet to purchase eBooks without a computer. Otherwise it is somewhat overpriced.

    I’m a Kindle 2 owner and I love my Kindle 2 very much. I think the text-to-speech function is very helpful, and right now this function is only provided by the Kindle 2. It means I can use it to “read” books just like listening to music with the ipod.
    The free internet access of the Kindle is also very useful. Not only that I can buy and download the ebooks everywhere with wireless access, but also I can access websites like wikipedia or google any time when I’m on the road.
    Another major advantage of the Kindle is that it is more easy to find books in Kindle format. Read the following review and you’ll know. It is a review from an actual customer called N. Jenkins, who is a fan of sony reader, but also favor the Kindle for more available titles:http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?i…
    Hope it helps.
