 Sony reader review
Hi,
I have a sony e-reader touch edition that I got last year. I love it. I am currently in school, and one of the best options is that I can take notes, highlight, and bookmark pdf articles that I need for my research, come back to my computer and save them as a word document. It has made reading and taking notes amazing. Although I have a music and picture function (only b&w) I have not really had any use for those.
I have bought the sony e-reader this Christmas for my father. I have gotten him the smaller and simpler version (last year's model) without the touch screen, and loaded it with e-books from Kobo. The biggest advantage is to carrying more than one book without taking more space than you need. It's easy to pop into your purse or bag, and read from where you left off, it remembers!
You can also download free books from most public libraries, and when your "borrowing" time is over, they will just "disappear or become unopenable"...saves late fees.
As opposed to some of the other e-readers (my friend and I did a bit of research on this), the sony allows me to download from a number of places, epub, pdf, doc and txt files. Making school work easier for me, and making it easier to get public domain books/articles/newsletter etc for my dad. And you are not locked into one country or "bookstore" like some others.
As you might tell...I do indeed love it and recommend it for any avid readers...the only depressing thing about the e-reader is that I miss the wondering of used bookstores, the smell and feel of paper...but I can still read that way as well. This just provides other options.
Happy reading!
