There are small hardware buttons for page forward, page back, home, font size change 5 font sizes and options content sensitive. The Sony Reader lasted less than a year and is now discontinued. And there ends our story. The short-lived PRS will likely fade from our readers' minds and those completely new to the eBook reader experience won't worry about it at all. Gone are the sidelights whose additional screen layer killed contrast. And Sony managed to reduce glare while they were at it.
The Touch Edition's features are excellent and should be captivating enough to tempt Sony Reader and owners to upgrade. The Reader is available in black, red and silver and it's smaller than the Kindle 2 and the same size as the PRS It weighs Sony includes a neoprene slip case instead. It uses incredibly little power, so the reader can go 2 weeks on a charge. In fact, it only uses power to turn the page.
There is no backlight the screen technology is too opaque for that and that means you must read with decent ambient lighting or a book light, just as you would with a print book. Sony is the only company currently offering a touch screen reader there are very expensive readers that use a Wacom digitizer and pen that haven't reached mass market status in the US.
That's why the Kindle models have keyboards: there's no other way to input text for searches and note-taking. The Kindles also have a 4-way controller to navigate the screen, and that gets the job done but it can be mind-numbingly tedious to move through the page line by line, word by word, especially on the 9.
Like the PRS, the touch screen interface is very intuitive and well done. Swipe your finger left or right across the screen to move forward or back a page. Swipe and hold to move through several pages quickly. Double-tap a word to look it up in the dictionary, double-tap the page to create or remove a bookmark.
Miraculously, the screen doesn't get murky with fingerprints. Like all Vizplex eInk displays, you will see a screen refresh when turning a page, but it's very short-lived and is less intrusive than the PRS's obvious refresh.
Glare is there but minimal-- it's nothing like the PRS or a notebook monitor. One could almost use the PRS to spot a crumb between one's teeth while the lacks that mirror-like quality. Words are clear and crisp and the touch screen layer does not create a parallax effect. It's not quite as rich with contrast as the PRS and Kindle, but it's close enough.
The reader displays 8 shades of gray, which is more important for graphics display than text. Amazon pioneered wireless in their Kindle readers and each has a Sprint EV-DO wireless modem inside so you can buy and download books and periodicals from Amazon.
With the Sony Readers you'll use your desktop and the included USB cable to download and transfer books. Sony's desktop application, now available for both Windows and the Mac, works much like iTunes: you'll use it to copy books to the device, sync notes and purchase books from Sony's reasonably large selection of titles if you wish.
The desktop software also handles getting Google books which you can download for free using the desktop software or you could do it manually via Google's site but why work so hard? You can also read books using the desktop software on the PC and any annotations you've made on the Reader are transferred to the desktop. Contact details.
