Abstract: Più facile da usare di Amazon Kindle grazie al touchscreen, Sony Reader non ha però a disposizione i servizi WiFi e 3G e compensa la flessibilità con i lettori di schedine di memoria. Leggero e comodo il lettore di Sony è un po' lento. Sui servizi vince K...
Touchscreen, Guter Kontrast, allerdings mit Luft nach oben, Schnelles Blättern und Surfen, Kindle Free Time, Lesezeichen und Notizen synchronisierbar
Keine Schönheit, Werbefreiheit nur gegen 20 Euro Aufpreis, Etwas rutschige Haptik
Wer auf der Suche nach einem neuen eReader ist, begeht mit dem aktuellen Kindle sicher keinen Fehlkauf. Mit gerade einmal 59 Euro ist er ein echtes Schnäppchen und mich persönlich stört die auf dem Sperrbildschirm platzierte Werbung nicht derart, dass ic...
