Sony Portable Reader to read ebooks

The Reader Digital Book provides a new way to experience reading. It boasts an impressive 6-inch display1 utilizing breakthrough e Ink technology that's almost paper-like, making it easy to read even in bright sunshine. In addition, the screen allows for high contrast and high resolution, with a near 180 viewing angle. The text can also be changed between three different font sizes.

A perfect travel companion, the Reader Digital Book offers a unique, on-the-go reading experience. With a compact and lightweight design, you can take it almost anywhere and read whenever you want. More compact than many paperbacks, it weighs just nine ounces7 (without cover), is only half an inch thin8 and holds up to 160 eBooks4. You can easily hold it in one hand, and with its rechargeable battery you can turn up to 7,500 continuous pages on a single charge2.

The Reader Digital Book allows you to search, browse, discover, and buy thousands of new releases, classics and popular eBook titles from the Integrated eBook Store and other participating websites3. You can even go to other sites that have unsecured eBooks in file formats that the Reader supports5. This translates into an incredible amount of content suitable for the Reader.

The Reader Digital Book isn't just about reading eBooks. Using the included eBook Library 2.0 PC Software, you can easily transfer Adobe PDF documents10, Microsoft Word documents5, BBeB Book, and other text file formats to the Reader, allowing you the flexibility to access and view multiple files at any time.

With a compact and lightweight design you can take the Reader Digital Book almost anywhere. And with plenty of internal memory9 and a slot for optional removable memory cards, you can take hundreds of titles, user-selected Web content or other supported documents for reading on the go5. It will hold approximately 160 averaged sized eBooks in internal memory4 and hundreds more with optional removable memory cards.

Sony launching Reader refresh next month?

If this press event invite is any indication, that's the way things are looking. The date is set for Ocober 2, and it all goes down at the Bookmark Lounge of the Library Hotel here in New York.

If that's still too obscure for you, perhaps the "join Sony Electronics as we open a new chapter on digital reading" will tip you off. Yes, Sony did recently improve the Reader's software to work with more booksellers, but the hardware of the PRS-505 itself is nearly a year old, and Sony has found itself decidedly out-Kindled. Our money's on a new Reader, or barring that, some subtle, Sony-esque potshots at Amazon for having the nerve to show up late to the e-book party and swipe all the glory.
