Something that you may not be aware of is that the Sony Reader ebook reader range has the capability to handle eBooks that you’ve ‘borrowed’ from online libraries. It even keeps track of how many days the title has got remaining on the loan, displaying that along with the author and title information of the book on the index pages.
The first thing to say is that the Sony Reader range of eBook Readers don’t need to have external power supplies, as they will charge up via the USB cable when connected to your computer, but they are useful accessories for a number of reasons.
 Sony Reader PRS-505 The Sony PRS-505 was the first Sony Reader released in the UK. While it’s nominally been superseded by the Sony Touch and Sony Pocket Editions, that doesn’t mean that it’s not worth considering, as the new Readers bracket it, rather than directly replace it! It’s got a 6″ (diagonal) eInk screen, rather than the 5″ screen of the Pocket, so is slightly larger to carry but easier to read – it doesn’t have the Touch’s features of dictionary lookup, search or annotations, but the lack of the touch-screen layer on the display means that many people find the Sony PRS-505 to (just) have the better screen for reading. |
