[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 535304, member: 259515"] [IMG]http://mos.techradar.com//classifications/images/Sony-reader-200-200.jpg[/IMG] Sony has announced the launch of its new slimline Reader, which is out to banish books and bookshelves forever. The Reader is smaller than a paperback and can hold up to 160 ebooks. If that's not enough for you, then you can add thousands more on an optional memory stick or SD memory stick. [B]A new way to read books[/B] The Reader weighs in at a light 260g and has enough juice in it to do 6,800 page 'turns'. The new Reader utilises E Ink tech, meaning that the display mimics a traditional book - so you can read it in sunlight at strange angles without a problem. Unfortunately, the device doesn't come with that new book smell but it does come with a free CD of classic titles including [I]The Jungle Book[/I], [I]Pride & Prejudice[/I], [I]Alice's Adventures In Wonderland[/I] and [I]Great Expectations[/I]. Plus more ebooks can be downloaded from Waterstones.com/eBooks. And if you're fed up of reading books, you can also use the Reader as storage, as it's compatible with the following formats: ePub, PDF, RTF, TXT and MS Word as well as JPEG images. The Reader is available for pre-order as of 24 July at waterstones.com and sonystyle.co.uk.
