Saw this awesome Sony e-reader at the store today!

So sleek, doesn't have that awful Kindle flicker...

But one stupid question.. how do I load ebooks? Can I use a Kindle account like I do with a Kindle app on the iPhone?

I love my kindle D:. And it depends on the e-reader's compatibility whether it can read kindle e-books or not. I don't think non-kindle e-readers can actually buy books from the kindle store, though you can do it the illegal way if you want. But why don't you like the kindle? The new paperwhite one looks really nice.

I haven't really seen the latest kindles yet... but with that one... does the turning page animation turn the whole screen black?

Like it inverts the colour on the screen when it flip the pages?

Coz that's one thing about the Kindles that I had seen that bugs me..

I have the older version of the kindle touch and that doesn't happen to me.

According to the review, this new kindle have almost instantaneous page flipping and it doesn't look like it does the color inverting thingy. It also has a 9/10 whereas that sony has a 7/10.

@0.24 of that video.. it was flipping pages like normal.. and then the last one did the invert colour thing...

I hvn't got any audio... was that an option to turn the flicker on or off?

But it's cheaper than the Sony one that I saw... and I prefer to use Kindle coz I'm so use to finding books through Amazon...

But it doesn't look like we sell it here in Aust.. might have to buy it from Amazon...

Oh I see, I had to watch it twice to notice it lool. It probably happens on my kindle too then it just happens too fast that it's not much of a bother from me. I like how kindle books are much cheaper than regular books.

The one I have is just for reading too, you should get a tablet if you want all that jazz. Android and apple both have a Kindle app so you can get books from Amazon still.

Difference between Kindle and Tablet is.. Kindle is designed to be like a book, it is light and you can hold it and turn pages with one hand... the screen is also meant to be better for your eyes.. but it does nothing else..

Tablet does everything else but it's heavy and bright...
