Right now there are some textbooks available for electronic readers, but not all.

I’ll say don’t get the Sony Reader because many users complain that it is difficult to find some books for the Sony Reader, not to say textbooks. Amazon Kindle has more content available, and it is more easy for you to find textbooks on it. Since the Kindle DX is launched, Amazon signed contract with three main textbook publishers so more and more textbooks will be availble for the Kindle.

I’m a Kindle 2 owner and I’ve some textbooks on my Kindle. But other than that, I’ve bought quite a lot of other books in Kindle version and they are much cheaper than actual books. It is also convenient to do everything in the handy device.

Finally, I remember I read these reviews when I decided to get the e-book reader:
