I tried out the new Sonys yesterday, can't say I liked them at all.
the sony is no better than the kindle, for school use. but for your own use, michael, why didn't you like it? (i'm not surprised by that, but just would like specifics.) -bowerbird
Not sure which of the Kindles the Princeton students got, but if they got the Kindle DX, then they could be reading documents in PDF mode, in which case the pages look the same as paper pages, including page numbers. Re marking up pages, yes Kindle allows one to make annotations, but the ability is pretty weak. Page number complaints re Kindle could just as well be page number complaints for PG, since we seldom keep the page numbers. Just heard an NPR report on students complaining about buying paper books for college -- $150 new, $100 used, and $75 if rented for one semester.
