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 haven't played around with a Kobo, so I can't talk about it. But for work I played with the newest Sony for a week and a Kindle Touch for about a week after that. I love the Sony, and was annoyed by the Kindle. The Kindle just wasn't working as well. The Sony was just a better device.

I read LJ and DW on the Sony and posted comments with no problem. I read from AO3 on it and it worked just fine.

Between the Kindle Touch and the Sony wifi touch, I fully recommend the Sony. I can hesitatingly recommend the Kindle Touch, but fully recommend the Sony.

Another point for the Sony :) Thank you for sharing!
