Remember that Sony Libre eBook reader that you didn’t buy back in ’04? …Well here’s another opportunity not to buy one. This time it’s the Sony next-gen eBook reader, called appropriately enough, the Sony Reader, aka the model PRS-500.
The Reader still uses that very nice electronic ink that’s easy on the eyes, and has been improved in a number of areas eg better battery life, more memory and support for music. Books can be downloaded from Sony’s Connect eBooks service, but they’re in a proprietary format.
$349.99
Not bad, but we’re waiting for the direct-to-optic-nerve model.

I’d forgotten how much this device looked like an Etch-a-Sketch,
Maybe a new version of the Sony Reader will come around again sometime soon.
