Sony PRS-700

Excellent Reader
"I've waited for a decent reader for awhile. This is one of the better readers. Reading is easy and the lighting, with three levels is adequate for different conditions. If there was anything that hinders this reader it is the software. Making collections...
Ease of reading and day to day use
Software integration and functionality has a lot to be desired
