Kindle Vs Sony Reader
E-book reader has been a craze ever since the same was launched for the public usage. There are quite a lot e-book reader available in the market but only a few are designed in such a manner that it could live up to the expectations of the customers. Amongst such e-book readers, Sony reader has taken the centre-stage for a long time but now the epicenter has shifted to a nascent Kindle e-book reader. If you go by the experts, the dominance of the former is going to be extinguished by the later in the coming future.
Galore of points can be sited in support of this well as.
File format:
In case of Sony reader you do not need to shell out some extra money from your pocket while you open any PDF file, whereas you will become poor by 10 cent when you try to open the same with Kindle e-book reader. Both Sony and kindle e-book reader are quite compatible with plain text, HTML and images format via SD card. However, Kindle is not good in dealing with RTF and Doc formats. Also when it comes to the reading of DOC formats, Sony too finds difficulty or rather it is unable to directly read the DOC formats.
E-ink technology
It is very interesting to know that Kindle uses the e-ink technology in the LCD display which is a revolutionary act in the world of electronics. The LCD screen, 6 inch in length, is covered on the surface with ‘Vizplex’ film giving its display an amazing look. The plus point of this technology is its ability to deflect 40% of the light received and using the reflected light in place of the transmitted one which makes it more comfortable to the eyes. However, Sony also uses this technology but not with that much efficiency as the Kindle.
Printing features
Kindle is portable enough to take with it all the personal files and documents to any place and at any time and thus eliminate the printing process. The fee charged for this wireless transfer of the data is 10 cent which is quite applicable.
Battery life
The battery backup of Kindle is amazing and it proves to be a better choice as its battery lasts for 4 days without any charging in between which is not applicable with the Sony. Turning of the pages is very easy in comparison to Sony and even in your bed you will feel that reading e-book is much more comfortable.
Though all the features seem neck to neck with the top of the line Sony e-reader, the only loop-hole of the Kindle e-reader lies in the price difference. Kindle e-reader is available in the market at $ 400 whereas Sony e-reader at only $ 300. However, the kindle e-reader is full of promises and this heavy price is expected to come down in near future.
