Should I Get A Sony Reader?

This weekend, I'm going to buy an Ipod Touch, so I can listen to podcasts, etc, on the train.

I have the option of purchasing the Sony Reader at a heavily discounted price (Cost for the 6-inch would be less than $35 to me, retail price is $300). I want to purchase it so I can read eBooks on the subway.

Should I buy it, or would the ITouch be sufficient?

I can't speak for the Sony e-reader directly, I have an amazon kindle, but I doubt it is much different. I say you should definitely go ahead and get it. It is much easier to read on that screen than it is on an ipod touch. I used to be a doubter of e-readers, but now I can't live without it.

TheHungryOnehow are you getting it so cheap?

When you work in MO/BO, you find ways to hustle. I can't give out details, since if too many people catch on, I can't get them for such a low price anymore.

My Ipod Touch will also cost about the same amount :)

 

Dude... buy at $35 - don't like it - sell $250 - buy ipod touch instead
