Demand for digital products, be they music or apps, is growing at a staggering rate. While the transition from physical to digital is rather seamless in many cases, books are a special case, as there is something very physical about the experience of curling up with a good novel that is hard to capture electronically. This is beginning to change, thanks to a new crop of electronic ebook readers. Yet, with so many on the market and new additions every month, selecting the best reader can prove challenging. Sony’s Portable Ebook Reader is one of many such lines of products, and is well worth considering by anyone searching for a quality portable ebook reader.

One major blocker to reading books on computers is the display. Few of us have monitors correctly positioned for the long, pleasurable experiences we associate with reading, and even the best displays aren’t optimized for viewing in prime reading locations. Sony’s line of ebook readers feature paper-like displays optimized to be easier on the eyes, even in bright sunlight. Their small form factors also make reading ebooks much easier than would be otherwise experienced with even the smallest of netbooks.

Portability is another appeal for digital products. To that end, Sony’s line of ebook readers can cram hundreds of ebooks into a package small enough to fit into a pocket or backpack. The PRS-505, for instance, can store 160 ebooks internally, or on swappable memory cards. Heavily-laden backpacks or space-wasting bookcases become things of the past with Sony’s line of portable ebook readers.
Supported formats are crucial factors to consider when purchasing digital devices of any kind. To that end, Sony’s line of ebook readers support Adobe PDF, RTF, text and Microsoft Word documents, thus covering the most commonly-available document formats. Regardless of whether your need is to read the newest novels or documents for work, any of these gadgets is up to the task.
Battery life is another factor that limits ebook adoption. While the three and four-hour lives of most laptop batteries may be sufficient for many, no one wants a good read cut short by the simple need to recharge batteries, or the constraint of being tied to a wall adapter. Sony’s portable ebook readers are optimized for long-life and extended use that is sure to see you through even the longest of trips with minimal need to recharge. The PRS-505, for instance, supports 7500 continuous page turns before the battery must be recharged.
Digitization allows for the creation of unique, streamlined experiences not normally available with physical products. Imagine what the experience of a book might be like if it could be not only read anywhere, but purchased from everywhere as well. To that end, Sony’s integrated ebook store takes the browsing and purchasing process digital, offering 20,000 titles ranging from new releases to the classics. No longer are you limited by the selections of the nearby airport or gift shop bookstore. Having such a large selection instantly available is invaluable for any reader, be they casual or avid.
The line for the Sony portable ebook reader is rich, featuring a variety of sizes, styles and colors from which to choose. While there are many, the features each provides makes any one a worthy addition to any reader’s list of gadgets.

Being frank I personally think Sony ebook and pdf readers are not the best in the market, Amazon kindle is something I really recommend. I recently came across one of my friend using ipad to read ebooks and it feels really good too.
I personally have not heard anything about sony ebooks until now but I have heard a lot about Kindle too. But I feel like I would much rather just read a real book anyways. But I think the video on this post was a good touch.
I never heard of the Sony eBook reader either but a friend of mine had it and she loves it. She mentioned to me that I won’t regret it and get it for my boyfriend since he’s still a student.
Sony’s line of ebook readers can cram hundreds of ebooks into a package small enough to fit into a pocket or backpack. Sounds like a good gift for my boyfriend.
I was thinking about purchasing this for my boyfriend since he’s still a student. Carrying books around the campus is pretty tiring.
The Sony ebook is pretty good, has really good ratings on it. I just purchased one for my sister, its so worth it.
This ebook reader comes in handy. Not having to carry around heavy books everyday feels so good!
Hi, I must say that Sony ebook is also good. I find it also interesting. But personally, recommend Kindle from Amazon.
The name “Sony” was chosen for the brand as a mix of two words. One was the Latin word Sonus which is the root of “sonic” and “sound” This is a very reliable brand.
This is good but i love kindle always. My friend is using this and i would say it is ok
This is realy energy saving.please continue writing such posts for the bevefit of the society.
Most people only know Kindle. But there is a variety of eReaders available, some with other features that may be more attractive than the Kindle.
I compared the Kindle and Sony ebook readers, and decided to go with the Kindle because the reading surface was much easier on the eyes.
I want to buy one soon. The Problem is i can not decide which one it will be. Your article gave me a few hints what to look for. Thanks for sharing.
I prefer Sony because of the quality the brand provides.
@David – You are absolutely right. Sony is the best brand. The name is equal to excellent quality. Also their service is good too.
The Pocket is far more compatible with other book formats than the Kindle. You can freely transfer DRM-free ePub files, Adobe PDF documents, Microsoft Word files and anything saved in the .TXT format. As you read, you can bookmark pages, although there’s no option to annotate, as there is on the Kindle and Touch, and there’s no search functionality. The Pocket is an ebook reader, pure and simple.
