Sony Reader Touch Edition, great buy!

 

"I am a college student and the Reader made a great gift. I put some recreational reading and some academic reading on my reader and it makes it easier to carry along the one item instead of ten books. It works great on trips or even inbetween classes...

Easy to load books on and convenient features

If do not use it for an extended period of time, upon next use it has to be recharged regardless

Consumer review by:

taking mine back

 

"I have researched these for a long time, the Kindle, the Nook and cheaper brands. Had almost decided to get the Nook, since B&N also owns eReader, and eReader gives you a percentage of everything you toward a future purchase. Sometimes 15%, but...

can use variety of file types

can't use enough file types, no contrast, turn pages trying to hold it

Best eReader Ever

 

"I received the ereader for Christmas. I had done a lot of research and was torn between the nook and the Sony. I do not like physical design of the Kindle. I have loved everything about the Sony especially that I can buy books from other sources and...

Book prices at Sony's ereader store, battery life

AMAZING!!!

 

"I am very happy with my sony reader. It is really easy to use, and it is much less of a hassle than carrying around a whole bunch of books. This was a very good investment. I am hoping that my textbooks for school will be available on it. I would...

I love that I don't have to buy actual books anymore. It's so much easier to have an e reader. Music sounds great on it

Need a light on wile reading b/c no backlight, can't listen to music without headphones or dock

Consumer review by:

So much fun!

 

"I just love my Sony e-reader! It is small and compact, and easy to use. Other than having to hook it up to a computer to download, makes it easy. But I look at it like this, at least my books I purchase are on my computer for backup!

I love that you can turn the page by screen touch or buttons

have to connect to computer to upload books

Consumer review by:

Works great - but not cheap and needs bright light

 

"This is my first E-reader, my wife got it for me for Christmas. Actually - she got me the Pocket edition, but she saw the Touch in the store and later wished she had gotten that one instead. I checked them out and agreed, not so much for the touch...

Handy size, stores tons of books, easy to use, looks great

Could be cheaper, text is easier to see with a bright light

Consumer review by:

Coolest Ereader ever

 

"Had it about two weeks and love it. The software it comes with to download the books is easy and theres also a chat person when you need help which is great. The touch feature is the best since sometimes you get tired of pressing a button but if you...

Easy to set up, good price and the touch feature is great

Should come with a cover case instead of a slip in case

Consumer review by:

Good product but needs some tweeking

 

"Love to use but was disappointed with user manual. Not enough info on how to add music to the reader. I really like that a person can use it for notes, especially if you are a student and have to keep notes for report, I also like that books are less...

lite weight, easy to read

has a glare to the screen, suppose to be able to download music but goes to wrong area on reader

Easy to use

 

"Great for the avid reader in your family. Easy to take with you and long battery life. You might want to get the reading light accessory, especially if you like to read in bed.

Lots of free books online, touch screen is terrific

Nothing really bad I can think of
