Sony Reader: The Ultimate Gadget For Book Lovers
January 21st, 2006
Destined to transform the electronic reading experience, the lightweight Sony® Reader is expected to bring a whole new meaning to “book smart.”
Coupling an innovative electronic paper display with precise one-handed navigation and a stylish, durable design, the Sony Reader will allow active readers to carry as much as they want to read whether they are traveling on the road or just around the corner.
Roughly the size of a paperback novel, but thinner than most (about .5 inches thin), the device can store hundreds of books in internal memory with the addition of an optional Memory Stick® or Secure Digital (SD) flash memory card.
The Reader can also store and display personal documents in Adobe PDF format, favorite web content like blogs or news feeds, and JPEG photos. With a seemingly limitless battery life equivalent to roughly 7,500 page turns. Simply amazing! More information about Sony Reader is available at www.sony.com/reader.
