You’re welcome!
Hello. Am enjoying your e-reader articles but it makes it that much harder to choose one that I can afford and that will be right for me. Do you have a comparison feature somewhere? Also, what’s holding me back is concern over any kind of radiation hazards from such things as the wireless, 3G and infrared touchscreens.
Also, any word on the new Sony models that’ll be coming out sometime this summer? We have a Sony store nearby and they only had the 5-inch pocket model for sale.
Thanks,
John
Yeah, here’s the link to the ereader comparison tables. There are also a number of comparison reviews pitting specific devices against each other scattered around this site. They can be found by scrolling through the reviews category or by running searches with the search box in the upper right.
Sony will likely announce their new ereaders later this month and then start shipping them in September.
I just tried the ‘kobodollaroff’ code and it wouldn’t accept it, but the June20off did work for me (on Aug. 12).
I was just curious, where do you find the coupon codes for kobobooks? I didn’t see them mentioned on the website or in my emails from them.
I’m in Kobo’s advertising program and they keep us updated on most of the current codes and sales.
