Which are the Best Portable eBook Readers?
I would really like the opportunity to get rid of a lot of physical books that I have accumulated over the years but never seem to get around to reading. I am also excited by the fact that I can store hundreds of ebooks on a portable device.
From all the portable ebook readers that are on the market at the moment, which is the best?

The Sony Reader and Amazon Kindle are the two best and most popular ebook readers in the market. Between the two, I’ll choose the Kindle. Read here to know more:

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 over 350,000 Kindle books). Sony Reader, however, many users complain that it is difficult to find suitable books, and books on it are more expensive than the Kindle. Other benefits of the Kindle over Sony Reader include the free wireless internet access, and the text-to-speech function.
If you need to read PDF with charts and graphics, you may want to go for the Kindle DX. Read this review and you should be able to decide which one to get:

Hope this helps.
I absolutely love this Kindle 2! It’s sleek, stylish looking, and does everything I want it do quickly! I had read that the internet browser was really slow, but the new Kindle has a faster processor and improved modem, so it is actually pretty fast. Of course, not to compare with DSL on a computer but it does the job.
As for reading, the text is super sharp and the images are much improved with K2 have 16 shades of gray for better resolution.
The new text to speech feature is pretty good. The male voice is better than the female voice but of course, it pales in comparison to audio books read by professionls. Still it’s nice to have the news being read to me while I am typing this review. I can see it being nice for commuting in your car to work or on trips. Might keep the kids quiet while on that trip to grandma’s house. The pages turn automatically as the voice is reading so you can follow along if you choose. With six font sizes, even the visually impaired could benefit from this feature.
Would I recommend this product? You bet!
Truly believe consumers these days wish to have access to content, in this case eBooks, in whichever device they are carrying at the moment. The whole concept of carrying an eBook specific device is definitely not for everybody, some people would much rather read their content on their smart phone devices.
I personally use Shortcovers. Its such a versatile product, it offers applications for the iPhone, Blackberry, and Android Devices, while still being compatible with major eBook devices like the Sony Reader.
Oh, they also have amazing selection with their books. Take a look!
It must be the Amazon Kindle. Amazon provides excellent support for content on their Kindle device. You can find ebooks on the Kindle from Amazon’s huge ebook resource, and they are all cheaper than actual books. Also, there aren’t any ebook readers that come with unlimited free wireless internet access, except the Amazon Kindle.
There are two models for the Kindle, the Kindle 2 and the Kindle DX. You can read these reviews to decide which one to get:

Hope this helps you making up the decision.
I’ll say the Amazon Kindle. The Kindle 2 is the best for affordable price and adequate function. If money isn’t a matter, then the Kindle DX is the best of course in terms of functions.
I suggest you to read this review about the Kindle 2, it is the best review I’ve ever read:

I would say it is a choice between the Amazon Kindle and the Sony Readers. Possible, the Barnes & Noble Nook in future versions will become a better competitor and also Samsung have released the Papyrus. It might help you to read some ebook reader reviews.
