Which eBook Reader is the Best?

Mistress.Erin writes "I cannot decide between Amazon's Kindle and Sony's Reader. I've read some reviews, but their motives can be somewhat suspect. So, I come to the most tech savvy group around to ask: which eBook reader is the best? If not Kindle or Reader, then what?" We've discussed this question before, but things have changed a bit since 2005.

I'd just like to say, whoever tagged this 'jetsvssharks', I salute you for bringing Broadway musicals into a story about eBook readers.

Emacs.

Yeah, definitely Emacs. The only eBook reader that can read things to you with a Lisp...

Yeah, good thing electronic devices never wear out. I mean, drop a book off your desk, that's it, you're toast. But a laptop, you could throw it across the room, and it would still work just fine.

"It's hard to believe that in 2007, the latest Sony reader has no ability to search through the text of a book."

We'll try to make this limitation more believable in 2008.

Love, Sony.
