Amazon just released a new Kindle, and I’ve given a detailed comparison for choosing between the new Kindle or the Sony Reader or the Nook, in another answer here:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100729065719AAVViO6
Among the models of Sony Reader, only the Sony Reader Daily Edition has wireless internet, and it is only limited to be used for buying and downloading books. There is no web browser on the Sony Reader, so you cannot browse the internet with it.
If you’re getting the new Kindle, my advice for you is to place the order now so to ensure it arrives to you on the date it is first shipped. From my past experience, as more people pre-order the new Kindle, the first batch may get out of stock and it may takes another month for it to be back in stock.
Hope it helps
amazon all the way
Neither. Apple I-pad, you can do other things with it too, but you can get the books too and you can download kindle, kobo, etc books, That’s the way to go
(yes, it is more expensive, but worth it)
…Sony? Seriously?
Buy the Kindle.
amazon kindle.
My vote goes to the Kindle, as books on it are cheaper compared to other ebook readers like the Sony Reader. It is difficult to find some books, especially new releases, for Sony Reader as well. There is a good review here for you to read and decide:

Hope this information helps.
I would suggest Kindle.The new Kindle has better eInk screen, triple of battery life, double of memory, lighter weight, faster page turn, and better PDF support. Also supports accessibility for low vision or blind readers, via text-to-speech function. It now also can display Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian characters, etc.
The Kindle 3 comes with WiFi, since it doenst support 3G you will need a WiFi hotspots to access the internet and for downlaoding books.Also you can buy it from computer and tranfer them to the kindle via USB cable.And the other verison supports both WiFi and 3G.
Also another change is Kindle DX has 3G but no WiFi but that doenst make much difference since you will be able to access internet via 3G.

Among the ebook readers, the Amazon Kindle is the best I’ll say. I recommend this article, it mentioned Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader, and other ebook readers by the end of the review:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Freview%2FR2V54YX2DD18S2%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref%255F%3Dcm%255Fcr%255Frdp%255Fperm&tag=searchresult-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957
There are huge selection of free books for the Kindle as well, as you can find here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/b/?node=2245146011&tag=searchresult-20
Finally, Amazon just released a new Kindle and new Kindle DX with 50% better contrast and further price cut. After announced for a few days, the first batch of the new Kindle has already been sold out. Since they prioritize the orders on a first come, first served basis, it’s better to place the order as early as possible. I put the link below for you to check out yourself.
Guess it’ll help you decide.
Kindle is definitely an amazing device. Its worth the money.You can put ebooks/notes/audio books on your kindle also Notes and annotations are very easy to make.Very easy to use with the PC and the Mac Kindle is very straight forward there’s no need for additional software required for Kindle. Also supports you can also increase the text size which is again amazing.E-INK screen technology that don’t glare in any light so no strain to eyes and less harmful. There are wide range of books on kindle many are free and other are cheaper at price than the actual books so yes I have saved a lot of money till now.
You dont have to carry now all those heavy actual books, kindle is so light weight which is carrying almost 1500 books within it. Since I travel a lot I really like the 3G Internet you can get the internet wherever you go. Whenever you are tired of reading you can also you Text-To-Speech with auto-page turning feature which is jst so relaxing. If the small size strains your eyes a lot than can also change the text-size. I must say Kindle is a small magic books really I cant live without it.

The Kindle.
I recommend you to read this article to decide. It is written by a person who has tried a number of ebook readers (including Amazon Kindle and Sony Reader), and it is the best review that I’ve ever read about the Kindle (note that the Kindle now supports PDF natively):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Freview%2FR3QM7LGL62MZ4X%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref%255F%3Dcm%255Fcr%255Frdp%255Fperm&tag=ereader-2-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957
And recently, Amazon has announced an upgrade to its Kindle, to secure their market shares. See here for the update details:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fhelp%2Fcustomer%2Fdisplay.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26nodeId%3D200324680%26ref_%3Dhp%5Fnavbox%5Fkrec%5Fsu&tag=ereader-2-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957
I say the Kindle.
I love my Kindle very much. If you’re thinking about getting the Kindle, I’ll say get it and you won’t regret. Right now I’ve read over 10 books with the Kindle, and I really like the idea that I can bring and store all the books with the handy device. Besides, it uses the e-ink technology, it is really clear like reading books; and even I read with the device for long hours, I don’t feel tired. The internet browsing comes handy as well when I want to look for information on some specific area. My only complaint is the white case, the Kindle is only sold in white at the time when I got it, but now the new Kindle has graphite case which looks much better
Kindle books are cheaper than hard copies. I suggest you to read this review from a top reviewer who is also a book lover, it outlines quite a lot of benefits of the Kindle and also why it is worth especially at the end of the review:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Freview%2FR9J54TZ1541OR%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref%255F%3Dcm%255Fcr%255Frdp%255Fperm&tag=more_info-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957
And there are some websites, where you can find more than a million of free books for the Kindle, so that’s why you no longer need to get to library, you can actually own these books:

If you need to read PDF with charts and graphics, you may want to go for the larger Kindle DX (both the new Kindle and the new Kindle DX are now at a cheaper price and with better contrast). Read this review and you should be able to decide which one to get:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Freview%2FR23V08M2LNB81I%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ASIN%3DB0015TCML0%26nodeID%3D%26ref%255F%3Dcm%255Fcr%255Fpr%255Fcmt&tag=more_info-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957
Hope this helps.
