Does anyone have a kindle, kobo or sony ereader?

Would appreciate any input on any of them. Not sure which one would be best?

Thanks

I have both a Kobo and a Kindle. Kobo is cheaper, but I did get one that had issues (kept having to reset the unit until that ultimately failed to bring it back from the dead). Returned for replacement. Kindle is faster than the Kobo and has easier navigation, particularly going to a specific page number. Wi-fi works well on both. Even though a bit more expensive, I must say that I prefer the Kindle. I have the 'version 3'

cheers

I also have the new kindle. I find it very easy to operate and the screen is good to read in all kinds of light. Amazon is a little pricey on the new releases, but they have a lot of good titles at good prices.

i ended up going with the kindle and have been very impressed. i liked the idea of having 3g portability and it hasnt disappointed!

I bought a kindle fire at xmas and love it. Easy to use as any new tablet and is colourful and cool with all the apps and icloud storage, and they say you could not use it in Canada, guess Kindle just did not want Canadians to have fun with there E-readers, using mine in Canada and works great.:yes:

I don't believe that it's kindles' doing - I remember reading somewhere that the almighty crtc had something to do with it. Glad to hear that kindle just paid them lip service .lol

I would stick to an Android tablet, like the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 or something similar. Then simply download the appropriate app, like the kobo app.
