CNET article:  Get a Sony Reader Pocket Edition for $99.99

Sears link

At this price I'm thinking of getting one of these to read library books.  Worth it?

I like my Sony, but I still think my nook is more useful.

The thing that irritates me with the Sony (and the nook does not have this bug) is that if you have library PDFs and library ePubs on the device at the same time, it will only be able to open one of the file formats, and you will not be able to open the other format at all.

For instance, I had 4 library ePubs on my Sony. I loaded one library PDF, went back to read the ePub I had been reading, and it would not open. None of the ePubs would open. I had to delete all of them, delete the PDF, re-download all of the ePubs from the library, run them all back through ADE, then reload them onto the Sony.

Sooooo..... Now I use my Sony exclusively for library ePubs, and my nook for library PDFs.

Maybe I'll wait until the nook Wi-Fi drops to <$100!

Love my Sony Touch, but hate the same thing Verena posted about.  Wish they would fix that bug.
