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 have a Kindle Keyboard, not a Touch, but I've been browsing on it to read fics a little limited and prefer instead to download them onto my Kindle. Honestly, if you are looking for something to be able to browse the internet to read fics I would strongly recommend the Kindle Fire. I have one and use it for that all the time when I just want to read something instead of going through the steps to save it. One of the best things is you can zoom to make the text bigger without losing part of the page and can even have it changed to a simpler format for reading.

I think it'll be a bit pricey for me to get both, although I would really like it since I love reading books as much as I do fanfics... Thanks for sharing!
