Sony Reader
Posted by kevin in Computers, PDAs and Phones on August 26, 2009
Just out the Sony Reader is a digital ebook reader platform like Amazon’s Kindle. Based on a memory card storage of e books that you can download, you can carry it anywhere and carry a complete library with you. Amazon’s Kindle has approximately 250,000 e books available, but the Sony Reader has an amazing 1,000,000 (i.e. one million, but I just like spelling out all those zero’s!) ebooks available.
New Sony Reader Digital e book reader
An ultra-sharp and ultra bright screen enables reading in most lighting conditions and good battery life is essential of course on a device that will probably be used frequently, and often on long journeys.
Now upgraded with Wi-Fi and the post-iphone compulsory sexy ‘touchscreen’ interface, it’s a sophisticated platform that maybe, just maybe finally makes the real, practical portable digital paperback concept a reality.
The Sony Reader Website has more information, but we like this, not least because of the ONE MILLION (did I mention that already? 
ebooks in the ‘library’.
You can order one from Waterstones HERE – they are taking pre-orders NOW and will have more stock and have them out sooner than anyone else.
Waterstones also have a full range of eBooks available PLUS order now from them and get a FREE copy of Dan Brown’s latest Book!
