There are several editions of Sony eReader ranging from 2004 to 2014, most of which have been discontinued. It accepts DRM-free eBooks in EPUB, PDF, Microsoft Word, TXT, RTF, BBeB formats.
On the other hand, Kobo is currently a top eReader choice in the world developed by Kobo Inc. Their ebookstore powers two standalone devices for sale in the US: the Literati and the Cruz reader. They also have downloadable apps for a number of current and upcoming devices, including all iOS (Apple) devices, Android, Samsung’s Galaxy Tablet, and the upcoming Blackberry/RIM tablet. BookBaby authors will also have their eBooks included in Kobo’s online store that serves a worldwide audience.
Most eBooks purchased on Kobo store are DRM protected, which makes it impossible to read Kobo books on other devices like Sony eReader unless you have installed Kobo app on these devices.
