postheadericon Kindle DX Vs The Sony Reader Daily Edition - The Best Ebook Reader Is?








There are a lot of ebook readers out there on the market, but it makes the most sense to compare the Kindle DX vs. the Sony Reader Daily Edition if you are looking for the best quality ebook reader money can buy..

What's so special about the Reader Daily Edition and Kindle DX readers? They both represent the "Top-of-the-line" ebook reader designs for Sony and Amazon. Both have more robust features than their cheaper counter-parts; the Kindle 2 and Sony Reader Touch and Pocket Edition.

Here's a detailed comparison between the two big boys on the market.

Kindle DX Vs The Sony Reader Daily Edition - The Best Ebook Reader Is?

The Display Screens for both the Kindle DX and Daily Edition use the E-ink technology that is used for the majority of ebook readers on the market today. Pictures and text look sharp and clear, in 16 shades of gray. Text can be resized to much larger or smaller, depending on the reader's needs.

The Sony Daily Edition has a touch screen navigation, whereas the Kindle DX is push button navigation on the bottom and sides. This seems to be a hot point of debate for many. Seeing a touch screen, to many people, means that it must be easier to use, more advanced, and therefore better right? On the contrary, it could be seen as actually getting in the way during the reading experience, since if you touch the screen with a swiping motion the page changes. Obviously, it's user preference when making the choice.

Screen Size- The Kindle DX has a 9.7-inch screen, whereas the Sony Reader Daily Edition is 7-inches. The DX obviously has more display screen and reading screen space, and will in turn be a larger device.

Rotation for Landscape View- Both the devices let you read in a "landscape" or "wide-screen" view, just by turning it on it's side.

Standard Memory Space for the Readers differ widely, as the Kindle DX is 3.2 GB (3,500 books) and the Sony Reader Daily Edition is 1.6 GB ("hundreds" according to Sony). However, you can add an SD card to the Sony Reader to add more memory.

Wireless- Both the ebook readers allow you to download books, magazines, and other publications wirelessly without the need to hook up to a computer. Download time for a book is around a minute with both devices.

Global Wireless? However, only the Kindle DX works in other countries outside the U.S.. Meaning, you can't hook up wirelessly to the network to get new publications (daily newspapers) or new book titles when travelling abroad, or if you simply live outside the U.S..

Document Types and Number of Books and Publications Available- The DX and the Reader Daily Edition allow you to read PDF's, and other document types as well on the device. Amazon has just over 350,000 titles available, whereas the Sony has those same titles, plus the "public domain" works that Google has compiled over the last few years. These are older books that no longer have copyrights applicable to them.

Taking Notes on the Device- The Sony Daily Edition has a "stylus" that comes with it to allow you to take notes in the books and on documents, etc...

And last but not least, the pricing of the two - The Kindle DX is priced at 9 whereas the Reader DE is priced at 9.

So there you have a detailed comparison of the features of, arguably, the best two ebook readers on the market today.
