Sony Reader

sonylogo

Sony has launched it's 'Sony Reader' which is about the size of a paperback, is 14mm thick at its widest and weighs little more than 250g. It has done deals with major publishers, including Random House, Penguin and HarperCollins, to sell digital e-books via its Connect online store.

Not too sure it will take off in the mainstream although the educational cross-over and applications would be one area to explore. I still remember lugging loads of books to school and having one simple device like this Reader would banish that issue. Maybe Sony should have just developed it for that market?

What do you reckon Christian?
