You have a valid point there if you base your conclusion on prices alone. But there is more to it in buying e readers, like performance or screen responsiveness and content. Amazon Kindle still has some edge in this aspect.
Is this really a “news article”. You’re posting a review on an already pre-Christmas release product that has been more thoroughly reviewed by other publishing venues. On top of that, this article is poor poor poor and not anywhere close to a piece of journalism. This is obviously a Sony sponsored article. Look at better reviews that actually review the technology and don’t steal “snippets” of tech specs with a few fluff points. This is NOT a review or valid comparison.
No issues, you can email us a better review and we will publish it here. 🙂
I had difficulties reading this article because the English was so poor that the sentences didn’t actually make sense.
“charge which means that its so powerful reader which makes you charge it once in a fortnight that too on a regular usage.”
What the what?
