The Sony Reader Touch Edition builds on Sony’s successful previous Reader, adding a touch-screen interface. This allows the Reader Touch to support a range of new features including annotations and dictionary support in addition to the easy navigation.
Features
Like it’s smaller companion, the Sony Reader Pocket Edition, the Touch Edition allows you to carry hundred of eBooks at a time in a slim, lightweight device that’s easy to carry with you at all times. This edition, however, adds to the basic reading capability with dictionary, annotation and searching features that will appeal to the serious reader.
- Touch-screen allows the reader to turn pages with one touch, create annotations on the virtual keyboard or highlight text with the stylus pen
- Search for books or words using the virtual keyboard or simply double-tap a word on-screen to find its meaning in the built-in dictionary.
- Long battery life, allowing the Reader Touch to display around 7500 continuous page turns from a single charge – enough for up to two weeks of normal usage.
