Engadget - Sony's timing could have been better with the Reader WiFi PRS-T1. The device, which was unveiled back at IFA in late August, is set to launch within a fortnight. In the intervening time, Amazon, the clear leader in the space, unveiled two new readers -- the fourth-generation Kindle and the Kindle Touch. Sony's got a ways to go if it's going to become a dominant force in the e-reader market outside of its native Japan, alongside the Kindle and the Nook.
In the market for eBook readers, the options tied to online bookstores, the Kindle and Nook, are obvious front-runners. But they’re far from being the only products on the market. Another option is Sony’s Reader, an eBook alternative that’s been on the market for about the last two years and has already seen multiple improvements and revisions. But why would you want to buy a Sony Reader over a Kindle or a Nook?
