Bought this for the wife. I already had one. She absolutely loves it. If you don't want to rely on your computer for recharging, buy the optional recharger. -- Sony Pocket Reader
I love my reader. I have as many books as I need without looking for a space to place them.
The only drawback is that it freezes up and I have to reset it other then that it is great. -- My Reader - My Companion
I love my new Sony Reader. I mainly bought it to use while on the treadmill. Good choice of books to choose from the Reader store too. -- Great Buy
Well I was dissapointed that directions didn't come with it, then the web site they say to go to for directions was no longer the correct site.
The books are expensive for new releases. But if your involved in a series of books and have to have the next book it's much faster to download at home and start reading immediately. So after you finally get the thing figured out it's great. -- E-Books are expensive, reader doesn't come with directions.
Well, not to offend the good folks at Amazon, but the Sony Reader hit a lot of sweet spots that the Kindle doesn't at this time. The price is right where it should be, it's DRM is approved for my public library-which allows me to download and read many titles for free-and it's ease of use is quite good. If you are looking for a device to dip your toes into the digital reading/e-book pool, I would say give this a try. -- The Price Was Right
