Amazing Paper-Like Display
Sony obviously spent a great deal of time developing the viewing screen, because it looks much like a page in a good book. Experience reading in a whole new way: The Reader Digital Book boasts an impressive six-inch display, utilizing breakthrough E Ink® Display technology, presenting text as clear as if it were on paper - it's high resolution, high contrast, and can be viewed at up to 180°. In addition, the screen can be magnified 200 percent, making reading a joy even for sight-impaired readers.
Ultra Portable
Measuring about the size of a paperback, the lightweight Reader Digital Book easily slips into your bag or briefcase, allowing you to enjoy your favorite books wherever you are. Weighing only about nine ounces, traveling with the Reader is much more convenient than dragging along conventional books. And since its rechargeable battery powers you through up to 7,500 page turns, you're ready for the long haul - the Reader uses power only when changing pages and goes dormant while you're reading. Personalize your Reader Digital Book with the optional Black or Pink covers and enjoy the benefit of special pockets to hold your boarding pass, business cards, and memory cards.
Versatile
Of course, you can use your Reader Digital Book to download and read books, but it's useful for other enjoyable activities as well. Using the included eBook Library 2.0 PC Software, you can easily transfer Adobe® PDF documents10, Microsoft Word documents5, BBeB Book, and other text file formats to the Reader, allowing you the flexibility to access and view multiple files at any time. You can view pictures from Memory Sticks, SD cards, or downloaded from your computer. Listen to music via the headphone port (headphones sold separately).
Hold 160 Books at a Time
Never leave the house without a full selection of bestsellers. Since the Reader Digital Book stores about 160 books with its built-in memory, you can take all of your favorites with you and let your mood decide which author you want to read next. And if you need more space, there's even a slot for optional removable Memory Stick® media for greater storage possibilities.
Download books from the CONNECT eBook online store. You can then purchase and download these titles to your PC and easily transfer to your Sony Reader Digital Book. And there are several sites offering free book downloads.
