Sony PRS 600 Reader Touch Edition - The New Sony eReader
PRS 600 Reader Touch Edition, One of Sony’s Brand New eReaders
Since Amazon has created another new and amazing ebook reader, Sony has done the same. However, these two ebook readers are very different from each other with features, style, and price. Therefore, if the Kindle line does not suit you maybe you should check out the Sony line.
Sony has introduced two new ebook readers. The PRS 600 Reader Touch Edition and the PRS 300 Reader Pocket Edition. However, I am only going to focus on the PRS 600 Reader Touch Edition today and will write another review of the Reader Pocket Edition another day.
The Reader Touch Edition, as it name suggests, has a touch screen so turning pages, highlighting, and annotating are as simple as placing your finger, or the included stylus, on the screen. A virtual keyboard is also included for those that wish to use it for easy searching or typing.
The display screen measures 6", which is 3.7" smaller than Amazon’s new Kindle Dx. However, it is just as thin and is 8.8 ounces lighter than the Kindle Dx weighing in at a mere 10.1 ounces.
The Sony Readers, including this edition, have the availability to support standard formats, including ePub, TXT, and PDF, allowing access to ebooks from the Sony Store and numerous other sites, including the many free ebooks available online.
Battery life can lasts up to two full weeks with a single charge. Kindle Dx boasts this possibility as well…as long as you aren’t using the wireless capability then Kindle’s battery life is shorten to only 4 days and maybe less if you are in a remote area.
Compared to Kindle’s 3500 memory cability the Reader Touch Edition is only able to hold 350 ebooks before additional memory cards are needed.
Other features include: adjustable font, a built in Oxford American Engligh Dictionary, e-ink display, high contrast ratio for readability even when in direct sunlight, and an eBook Library software to allow for easy downloading, management, and transfer of ebooks.
The Reader Touch Edition also allows for a little more personalization as the product is available in black, red, or silver. Where as the Kindle line is all one color.
Although the Kindle Dx has numerous features the Reader Touch Edition is much more appealing to an individual looking for a travel worthy ebook. With it’s long battery life, small size, and light weight it is perfect for long haul trips. The touch screen allows a more realistic reading experience and ease of use when highlighting, searching, or studying the material. Although the Reader Touch Edition does not have memory load of the Kindle Dx it still holds more ebooks than one can read in a sitting. And the best feature of all is the price. The Sony PRS 600 Reader Touch Edition is a mere $299.99 versus Kindle Dx $489.00.

[...] with the recent release of the Sony Reader Touch Edition, the Sony Reader Pocket Edition is one of Sony’s brand new electronic book readers. [...]
What I want to know is WHEN will e readers be given to schools and students so that they can have all of their textbooks in their hands at little to no cost. I can’t carry backpacks as heavy as my kids carry everyday to school!! Textbooks are so heavy! E-readers should be offered to school children first and the companies who manufacture the heavy textbooks should be ashamed of themselves for not becoming more involved in this technology!
