New Sony Gadget

Reasons to buy This device can store about 350 books and display them on its 6in screen, which uses e-ink to mimic the look of the printed page. The device supports the “epub” digital format, which is set to be the MP3 of digital print. For lovers of hefty classics or students with heavy textbooks, the device could be a godsend. Many classics are now in the public domain and available to download free. Sony software now works on Mac as well as PC, and the Reader can play MP3 music files and JPEG images as well. Magnification buttons are great for the short-sighted.

Reasons not to The Reader takes a little getting used to and there’s an irritating flicker between page turns. New books in electronic format are subject to VAT, unlike their printed cousins, which makes them more expensive. The Touch can connect only to a computer and has no direct internet access itself.
