eBooks have been around for the past 20 years, what makes the new ebook readers stand up and be counted is the fack they use eInk - not LCD screens. This means that there is no illumination from the screen and the ebook reader is as easy on the eye as a normal ebook

To give it it's full title the ebook reader is called a Sony PRS600S eBook Reader Touch Edition

Simplicity is Key, with just 5 buttons on the front of the reader.

The touch screen is intuitive and responsive, something that could be a big drawback on any touchscreen device.

The ebook reader is compatable with a number of formats, including the commonly used epub and pdf, it is not locked to a single format, so you can buy books from places like Waterstones.
BBeB® Book, TXT, RTF, Adobe® PDF and Microsoft Word files are all supported (conversion of Word documents to the Reader requires Microsoft Word installed on your PC).

The fact that TXT files are supported means that you can benefit from thousands of free classic titles from Project Guteberg.

The screen size is a good 6 inch and the resolution is perfect for quick response text.

Battery life is a good 7500 page turns, allowing you to read a good 10 full length novels on one charge.

The reader's inbuilt memory allows you to carry over 300 books with you at any time. There is a memory stick slot for an optional Memory Stick PRO Duo or SD media card - click here for the best deals on removable media
