Lighter than a typical paperback, weighing just 220g, the new ultra slim Sony Reader Pocket Edition is designed to fit in your bag or pocket - take it with you wherever you go.
Think of this clever device as the literary equivalent of an MP3 player. Slim, lightweight and compact, it lets you store and take stacks of books with you wherever you go - you can download up to 350 books you’ve purchased from the internet to its memory, for reading whenever and wherever the mood takes you.
And this is how it works: the Sony eBook reader uses impressive E Ink® Vizplex technology to create the look of traditional print on its 5” screen, so it’s just like reading real paper. There’s no backlight so there’s no strain on your eyes, no flickering screen to distract you – for a really relaxing read you can even take it outside on a sunny day. Thanks to the eBook's ability to play MP3 files, you can even listen to your favourite tracks as you enjoy the latest page turner.
You can bookmark pages or magnify text on a page; the eBook Reader will also remember where you last left off – even if you don’t!
Set up is simple - install the supplied software on your computer, connect the eBook Reader to it with the cable provided and you’re ready. It’s easy to create and manage your eBook library on your PC and transfer your eBooks to the eBook Reader - exactly like you do with your music on your MP3 player. Includes a carry pouch, USBcable and quick start guide.
Please note: Use of the Sony E Book reader requires an active internet connection (broadband recommended) for downloading new content.
