Sony Readers get refresh
Sony's new Reader all rock touchscreen skills
Sony’s Reader range has been given a timely refresh as it looks to do battle not only with the likes of the Amazon Kindle, but also the e-reading skills of the iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab. All three versions, the Touch, Pocket and Daily Edition, now rock touchscreen tech.
Each one also uses E Ink Pearl, which Sony reckons gives every model speedier page turns, which you can do just by flicking your finger across the screen. The Daily Edition also now comes with Wi-Fi as well as 3G, so you can load up the latest e-books directly to the device.
The Touch and Pocket now come with a more than ample 2GB for stashing books, while all three editions have been slimmed down, with new look thin frames to ensure you can slip them into any bag without much hassle.
They’re all due to land before Christmas and with the e-reader dream now a reality, this might be a good time to ditch your paperbacks and go digital.

I have a sony ereader, what sony dont tell you is that if you have the text setting in the m range so you can read the text, that the battery only last for about 300/400 page turns, not the 5,000 as advertised, so be warned
