A beginner will struggle with Adobe ID, Digital Editions, authorisation, etc. With Amazon all you have to do is create an account and you can start purchasing the books. I don't care about web browser, but wireless purchasing of books is a nice feature. I think that at the moment Amazon has a better product.”
Disagree on the screen of the PRS 600, I've had one for over a year and its touch screen functionality is terrific.
That aside, the PRS 650 and PRS 350 are the new models and both have touch screen functionality too, with improved screens.
Anyway, for newbies, PC Pro have reviewed a wide range of readers, so check them all out before going for one.
