The Failure: Sony's new PRS-T2

 

Disappointment. That is the first word I would use to describe how I feel about the new Sony PRS-T2 eReader. Someone at Sony must have forgotten to mention that when companies release an "upgraded device," they are actually supposed to do more than...

Great e-reader for library books

 

Compared to the kindle touch this is easier to navigate. I really like that it shows the cover of the book you\'re reading as a screen saver and that this is optional in case you\'re reading something you\'re not so proud of. The Kindle Touch never...

Sony PRS-T2

 

Sony's latest eReader doesn't quite snuff out the Kindle Paperwhite.

Slim and light ; Good PDF-friendly touch zooming

No integrated light ; Lower-res screen than rivals ; Relatively expensive

For non-PDFs, you can choose between a reasonable seven fonts and eight font sizes. However, disappointingly, you have no control over the Sony PRS-T2’s screen refresh – when the E-ink screen flashes black to remove text residue. Like the Kindle, it...
