You will probably learn very quickly that you get what you
pay for in life and that is no different when it comes to
Kindle copycats.The Sony Ebook Reader is quickly making some
friends but it is only because people are not looking deep
enough into the product.

Kindle 2 retails for $299.00 while the Sony Ebook Reader is also
$299.00. For those who consider themselves savvy shoppers,
this may make a bell go off in their head. Those who really
want to make sure that they are getting their monies worth
should look further into the comparison though. You get what
you pay for.

The Sony Ebook Reader has enough storage space to store 160
ebooks. This sounds great and all but the Kindle 2 can store
over 1,500. This is an obvious difference between the two.
Since the Sony Ebook Reader is not able to hold as many
books, it is no wonder that it is maybe an inch or two
smaller.

There are additional memory cards for the Sony Reader that
you can pay for which will give you a little more storage
space. But this is still nothing compared to the amount of
books the Kindle 2 can hold. Another thing that should be
taken into consideration between the two models is that with both
you will need to make use of an AC Charger.

The Kindle 2 includes that power adapter along with the USB
cable, a quick start guide, and a rechargeable battery for
the price of the unit. The Sony Ebook reader does not. They
recommended that you buy the AC charger for an additional
cost but all they include with their purchase price is a
case to carry the reader in, a USB cable, and a quick start
guide.

If you want to buy the AC adapter so that you can actually
make use of your purchase then that will cost you another
$29.99. So when it comes to purchasing an Ebook reader,
wheather it is for yourself or for someone that you care
about, you want to make sure that you are getting the most
for your money.

These are not the times we should be casually spending our
money with no regards to what we are actually getting. For
something that will surely entertain and be worth the
purchase, the Kindle 2 is the way to go.
