E-Reader Purchasing: Browser?

[littleisle.livejournal.com]

Hi! I'm new (and very grateful for) this community because I love reading and would like to purchase and e-reader.

I have 2 main inquiries:

1) I'm still deciding which e-reader would suit me best, and since I mostly read fanfiction online (thought there are some which I do save), I was wondering which e-reader would do the job most efficiently.

I looked around the internet a few times, as well as called to inquire about several different e-readers, and I've been circling around 3 main ones:

- The Kobo Touch
- The Kindle Touch
- The Sony Reader Wifi

When I've looked around for answers about their browser functions, most of them were similar: The browser is limited but workable.

Thus my question is, which e-reader can best function if I were to go read fanfiction/blogs online? If I were, let's say, to go to livejournal, insanejournal, dreamwidth, archive of our own or simply just browse in google for fanfiction?

2) Which e-reader can best allow me to organize and read pdf files (or are there files that I convert to read my fanfiction downloads better?)

Thanks!

I've got the Sony and it is okay for surfing from time to time. And I guess you can theoretically surf LJ and read as you go along. But I never really triyed... From AO3 you can download directly to the reader. Generally, you could root it, I guess, then the surfing capability might be better....

pdf work most of the time, but I find epub much more comfortable, so I convert everything (really easy with calibre).

My first choice was the Sony one, even though it was more pricey, because I believe it would suit my reading needs best. Thank you for your input :)
