I wanted to check that out, It was supposed to be the "kindle killer" when they announced it a few months back. Do you know how it compares to a Kindle?

I haven't actually *held* a Kindle and played around with it yet. I think they have one at like Best Buy that you can play around with (but I'm not sure) - I know Best Buy has the Sony one.

I just was not impressed with it at.all. I mean, I'd rather carry a book. It could be that the one they had out was a display one and people have been abusing it but I really doubt it (there were two out, live-in and I had different ones that we were holding, and we saw the same problems).

I didn't know bestbuy had kindles. I havent heard anything good about the Sony reader other than the fact it's the sleekest.

I feel like I was at a Best Buy mobile (one of the smaller stores you'd find in a mall) and they had the Sony reader, with a Kindle that you could compare it with.

But I'm not sure. It sure would be nice for those of us that are more cautious buyers if there were licensed retailers of the Kindle that could have a display out!
