Sony eBook Reader at Penn Station Borders

This was a video I took of the Sony eBook Reader when I stumbled upon it at the Borders above Penn Station in New York City. I didn't get to play with it for very long, but I can definitely say that the image quality is good enough to facilitate reading for hours. I do know for sure that the device can read PDFs and accepts MemoryStickPro and SD memory cards for expandable memory. Go to the Sony website for more information: http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_Disp...

I just got a Sony Reader 505 and I love it. I too thought, why not get one of those small laptops...but...the Reader screen is not illuminated. thus it's much easier on the eyes...the battery life is amazing (over 7500 page turns), it turns on with just a flick of the on-off button (no warm up time), and it's completely quiet (no humming motors/fans). The Reader is esp. great if you read fanfic (free reading material!).

Why not just pony up a few more bucks and get one of the new ultra small laptops ?

A model shown on this video is an obsolete model and the price information below is also bogus.

New ebook reader from Son, model PRS-505 sells for $299.99 and it's available everywhere, even Amazon... not a funboy, just an FYI...

New Years Day by U2 is playing in the background. That has added to my overall experience of viewing this.

Thanx for playing with it. And yes, you can actually upload your MP3files onto the gadget so you can listen music while reading your books.

A more than amazing battery life and some other cool things.

350$ at Sony store, though :-/
