eBook Reader Face-Off
Well, with the introduction of electric paper style screens, ebook readers are coming out in droves.

We have the Kindle 2



Next off, the Sony PRS-700



The Sony PRS-505



The Samsung Papyrus



The kindle's main feature that puts it ahead of the others is the integrated wireless access via cell phone radio. With that you can browse wikipedia or shop for books, however its fairly unfriendly to other file formats, Amazon even going so far as to sue MobileRead.com for linking to a python script that allows books purchased elsewhere to be read on the kindle.

The Sony-505 is a basic reader with no touchscreen or integrated wireless, while the 700, an improved version, features a touchscreen, while also gaining the maligned feature of a very glare catching screen.

The Papyrus is Samsung's yet to be released touchscreen eBook reader, not much is known about it at this time.


Which one do you want/have? What kind of features should we be asking for in future iterations of these products?
