I'm in the market now and trying to figure out which system is best. They all seem to make things so much more difficult, or more correctly, they want to make money w/ numerous new launches. Why they don't give you the option of a light feature, very simple tech, why they don't offer a colour feature, for people that like to read comics, or for parents that would like to have the ability to down load them for their kids to read on lengthy journeys, why they can not be compatible to most formats, txt, pdf, jpeg, etc simply boggles the mind. At the end of the day, battery life is all good, but I'm willing to c the life shortened should i turn on the colour function or use the light feature when reading in the dark etc.
I am leaning towards Kindle 2 or Sony PRS-700, but am worried i will not be able to down load from my computer onto the system and then read my files. Kindle doesn't seem to support any other format, unless you email them the documents, books, pdf etc that you may have on your computer for them convert? Not so much of a cost issue as a mojor hassle factor??
can anyone advise which would be the best product, keeping in mind that i travel a lot and also live outside the US at present.
thanks
