Best Sony eReader Deals
Touch screen, better price, and greater free options make the Sony eReader great
While the eReader crazy has been big lately thanks to Amazon's Kindle and Barnes and Noble's Nook, it's interesting that Sony has actually been in the market far longer. Back in 2005, Sony tried to open up the ebook reader market with a Sony eReader. While the venture failed, Sony's back in 2009 with a renewed vigor.
Having sold 300,000 Sony eReaders to date, the company is working hard to gain a sizeable foothold in the market. The sony ebook reader comes in a variety of price ranges, with a $200 Reader Pocket Edition called the PRS-300, a $300 Reader Touch Edition, and a $400 Reader Daily Edition.
Despite the media's love affair with the Kindle and Nook, the Sony eReader is actually a very viable option, one that we highly recommend. First, the Sony ebook Reader's diverse options make it price friendly to every consumer. Second, it has a set of features that are unmatched by the other eReaders.
Sony's ebook reader offers an open format, meaning that you own your ebooks that you buy. Where the other devices are heavily locked, the Sony eReader gives its users a sense of freedom.
What's more, the Sony Reader takes free books to a whole new level. Partnering with Google, you have the entire Google Books library at your disposal. The Sony eReader interfaces with your library through a service called OverDrive, allowing you free access to tons of books.
The Sony Reader is a great option because it is willing to do something different from the competition. Where the Barnes and Noble Nook seemed to mimic the Amazon Kindle, the Sony ebook reader tries to go a step further than both.
