Review: Sony Reader Daily Edition

Despite a larger-than-usual screen and handsome hardware design, this touchscreen-enabled e-book reader has too many shortcomings.

Gorgeous industrial design puts other e-readers to shame. Larger screen than on most e-readers. Built-in dictionary. Subscription support might help keep some of our favorite newspapers alive another day or two

Sony Reader Daily Edition review

The Sony Reader Daily Edition is available only in the US, and Sony has yet to reveal when it will be be available in the UK. The Sony Reader Daily Edition was tested by our colleagues in San Francisco at the PC World labs.

Oddly, even though the Daily Edition uses a GSM service, it doesn't currently support international roaming (which is the best reason to go with GSM technology). For now, at least, you can purchase and download content wirelessly only when you're in...
