What is the best eBook Reader or eReader?


Looks like there are a few eReaders on the market such as the Amazon Kindle and Sony Reader, but which eBook Reader or eReader should I buy?

Which good Ebook reader has a color display?


Which released or soon-to-be released Ebook reader has a touch screen AND a color display? Is there any device except the iPad which combines an Ebook reader with a portable video player?
Is Sony PRS 900 available in India?

not the kindle or the sony reader

Are there any reasonably priced ebook reader devices?


All I can find are Kindle and Sony at $250-$350 a pop. Is there anything more portable/smaller and more affordable out there? If you have one, how do you like it?

Portable DVD player, ebook reader, laptop: Multiple devices or just one?


My daughter will need a laptop computer next fall for college. She’d like it now, but she needs it then. She’d also like a portable DVD Player and/or an ebook reader now.

Her birthday is tomorrow. I could get her a portable DVD player, or an ebook reader, but is that a waste of money since a laptop can play DVDs & display ebooks? Is there a legitimate reason to have multiple devices?

Best Ebook reader for displaying schematics/technical drawings?


I work on industrial equipment on offshore oil rigs. I frequently find myself lugging my laptop and/or cumbersome schematic books into bilges and other nasty places. I want to buy an ebook reader that will let me display schematics (PDF format) which are generally about twice the size of a regular 8.5″X11″ sheet. It will need to have 4 way scrolling so that I can view the whole page in full size (MUST). It must also have a search feature, as I also frequently find myself searching for a single word in 1500+ page manuals(MUST). It would be nice if it were small in size (hopefully small enough to fit into a large coveralls pocket)(WANT). Also, it would be good if the device is ruggedly designed (milspec, shock proof, water proof, etc)(WANT). ooh yeah, and a backlight would be handy for those dark cramped spaces(WANT). Thanks!

Where can I get the cheapest new Kindle ebook reader?


Ebay? Craigslist?
Meg is apparently posting flippant comments to get cheap points.
