Does the Sony PRS600 Touch Edition EReader Have What it Takes to Challenge the Kindle 2?

Sony's new eReader edition Touch is perhaps the biggest challenger to current Amazon Kindle 2. What follows is based on my impressions after using the Sony eReader PRS600 few weeks. I also have some opinion on how it compares to Kindle 2.

First, we enumerate some of the new touchscreen Sony eReader

Touch Screen 6 ", 600 x 800 pixels, 8 levels of gray

taking notes by hand and annotate, highlight, use the included stylus or virtual keyboard

512 MB onboard memory can store up to 350 ebooks

Accepts Memory Stick Pro Duo or SD card

Single adjustable five font sizes

The battery lasts up to two weeks or 7,500 rpm page

Integrated Dictionary

Available in silver, black or red

Supported formats: PDF, Adobe Digital Editions, epub, mp3, Microsoft Word, BBeB

The PRS 600 is supplied with a neoprene carrying case. You probably want to get good coverage, though, as the bag does not provide much protection. Also included is a USB cable to connect to your computer and a guide. If you want a card, you must purchase this separately. You could probably do without if eink eReaders basis as it has a very good car. A full charge takes about four hours, during which the eReader must be connected to the USB port of your computer.

Sony has also announced some new features to go with their new eReaders. First, Sony eBook Store software is now compatible with Mac Moreover, the Sony ebook reader support Adobe Digital Editions, which means that you can buy ebooks from sources other than the Sony eBook Store. Ebooks in the Sony eBook Store will be available in Adobe Digital Editions for owners of other ebook readers can buy ebooks from Sony, if they are compatible with ADE. Finally, you can borrow e-books in public libraries using Overdrive as a provider for digital media.

Being able to check the local library and read ebooks on your eReader sounds like a really good feature, but is currently quite limited. Most libraries have some titles to choose from. The Los Angeles Public Library system, for example, has just over 200 shares at the time, and is a great library system. Libraries have a finite number of "copies" of each title more ebooks will be a waiting list to get in before you can tick a box.

The Sony PRS 700, Touch Edition replaces the Sony was known for his genius that made the incorrect reading or outside in bright light difficult. This is a common problem with touch screen, the contrast reduced. The PRS 600 is not as bad as the PRS 700, but there are reflections. The contrast is not as good in most eReaders without touchscreen. Outside of reading I found the touch of editing, to be quite readable in full sun or shade other or complete. When I had problems was in partial shade, it was difficult to find an angle that reveals trends reflected on the screen. Inside I found the worst glare when playing next to a table lamp, or when reading in bed with a side table lamp.

The glare from the side, the touch screen makes navigation easier. Page took place or using a swipe your finger on the touch screen or using the buttons at the bottom of the eReader. The movement of the finger is a bit 'of addiction. The Sony Touch is very difficult to use with one hand while reading in bed. Sony could make it easier by putting the buttons to turn the page on the sides of eReader rather than substance.

The touch screen is also useful to take notes and use. You can use the stylus to scribble in the margins, if you want. You can also make annotations on PDF documents, but not when they are enlarged. The default PDF view is generally too small to be read as a whole page on screen which is mounted on the PRS 600 is a bit 'small for this purpose. You can use the zoom function of PDF files, and then pan the image around with your finger on the touch screen.

You can also combine your ebooks together in collections of titles based on the author, category, etc. You can do it from your computer, however, the same eReader.

Overall, I enjoyed the Sony Touch Edition. There are, however, some areas where I think it falls a bit 'short compared to the Kindle 2.

First, the question is not so little content. If you delete the Google public domain ebooks from the Sony eBook Store will be left with about one third the number of securities which the Kindle Store Help Yes, you can purchase other ebooks ebooks online shops, but mostly they seem to have roughly the same titles at similar prices. When I compared prices Kindle ebook store is almost always cheaper for a given title.

Then of course there is a Kindle wireless. Purchase e-book is obviously very convenient wireless, but wireless connection also allows the Kindle 2 much more versatile. If you want something to read the research you can access Wikipedia or on the web. The Kindle's browser is a bit 'awkward, but if you need to access the Internet or check e-mail, is there for you. For me, it is much more valuable than the touch screen. Sony also announced the eReader daily edition, due out by the end of 2009 and should come with a wireless connection. However, wireless can connect to the Sony eBook Store from Sony, without any connection to the Internet and wireless outlets other ebook. At least, that the information has been provided to the daily edition to date.

In conclusion, I like Sony. I found the reflection sometimes annoying, but not so bad as to be a deal breaker. You may feel very differently, may be a good idea to have a look handy if you have a Sony Style store near you. I think the Kindle's wireless connectivity is much more convincing than having a good touch from Sony. And if you want to read mainly sold current (which are mostly around $ 9.99) or Google offers public domain, you will have less choice of reading material with eReaders with Sony to Kindle 2, and probably will cost more.

Barnes & Noble Nook vs Amazon Kindle - Which is the Best EReader?

Amazon Kindle eReader was the leader, at least in the U.S. market since the introduction of a Kindle eReader in 2007. Sony has occupied the second place with 30-35% of the market.

But now there's a new kid on the block. In October '09 Barnes & Noble announced its eReader corner that sold on pre-order in a few weeks.

The area is mainly revolutionary in his eyes. It will be difficult for the average child gadgets / daughter to see one and not develop a serious need. But this means that the angle is the best thing since the printing for boys and girls bookish?

Look and compare some of the characteristics of a corner and eReaders Kindle.

For most playing on the screen at an angle of e-ink is very similar to reading on screen Kindle eReader e-ink. EReaders Both use the same or very similar on-screen reproduction.

What is radically different, making it attracts many people to ereader Nook is the LCD touch screen as small e-ink. On Kindle, navigation is done using the keyboard and 5-way controller chicklet. Orders for the angle are mostly accessible using the touch screen LCD.

Corner touchscreen is also used to browse the books in the library or the selection of books for purchase from Barnes & Noble on the wireless connection. A virtual keyboard is available on the LCD screen for typing.

The color of a corner of the LCD screen looks really nice and seems to be a very desirable feature, but there are problems with software deployment, we get a bit '.

Connectivity

The Kindle eReader has a 3G wireless AT & T Global Kindle, and Sprint for the Kindle 2. Amazon calls its wireless "Whispernet". Use Whispernet, you can usually purchase and download a book in a minute or less. You can also use the browser a little awkward but functional for Internet access, e-mail, search for your reading on Wikipedia, including access to ebook Another online store to Amazon to buy and download books, etc. With global Kindle, you can also access the Kindle store in many countries outside the U.S., if you must pay extra to download a book on Whispernet outside the United States.

The angle eReader has both WiFi and AT & T's 3G wireless connection. The difference is that under the angle can be used to buy and download books from Barnes & Noble. No internet, no encyclopedia, you can not use it to connect to another store, ebook online and buy books.

The WiFi connection Nook will be useful if you carry your eReader angle at B & N will download coupons and deals for your eReader. You can also use WiFi to browse ebooks, while in B & W, but you can not read all the books for up to one hour in a 24 hour period. These features in-store are not yet fully implemented so that we do not yet know which will prove useful.

Sharing

A characteristic of ereader Nook has received wide media coverage is the ability to write your eBook to their friends. Unfortunately, this feature is not as great as first thought. First, publishers must choose to leave their books are borrowed. Some said they do not. There are limitations: you can borrow a particular book, once more, and only for 14 days. If a book is borrowed, you can not access on your corner.

The Kindle is not currently allow this type of loan. However, you can share ebook with a maximum of 6 (which may vary depending on title) switches that are registered for the same account. It works well for multi-family Kindle. You can also create a book club with your friends Kindle owner, if you feel comfortable with credit card only to save eReaders Kindle.

Additional features

An interesting feature is that the angle eReader is a user-replaceable battery. The Kindle's battery is connected and should therefore be returned to Amazon for replacement ($ 60). Amazon says that after 500 charges (ten years), these batteries still hold 80% charge, so this can not be a problem for most people.

The area also accepts an SD card for additional storage. The Kindle is its internal memory, but it is sufficient to hold about 1500 pounds, so it might not be a problem for you.

A typical angle that has not received any official recognition of Barnes & Noble is the ability to borrow eBooks from the local library if they use digital distribution services Overdrive. To do this, you need to install Adobe Digital Editions on your computer and use it to sideload the ebook on your corner. You can borrow a book from the library for 14 days, after which it will be automatically deleted. You can not renew funding eBook Library. To find out how useful this feature will be in your case, you should check your local library website. Most libraries have a large catalog of electronic books for the moment. Kindle does not support lending library ebooks now

The eBook Store

No matter how attractive the material, the main objective is to read eReader books. From today eReaders tend to be linked to proprietary formats of existing DRM licenses, you want to make sure that whatever you select is supported by the local Best ebook (s).

The angle of the leading manufacturer for ebooks ebook DRM'ed obviously Barnes & Noble. You can also buy DRM'ed ebooks from online merchants that support Adobe Digital Editions. The area is also compatible with the DRM'ed EPUB format and PDF.

With Kindle, you buy most or all of your titles DRM'ed Shop Amazon Kindle. Kindle does not use some other formats and PDF ebooks DRM'ed MOBI. ebooks public domain are available for the Kindle eReaders. I think at some point Amazon will also EPUB compatibility for the Kindle, the growing pressure for it.

Many people complain about the Kindle to be confined to transactions for Amazon DRM'ed ebooks ebook. Although this may be true to a large extent, the fact is that the Kindle store more songs available at B & N and all the shops selling online in ebook format ADE meeting. In most cases, prices are less than Amazon and Barnes & Noble, though he tried to meet their price.

If first read books bestsellers today you'll probably be able to find these available in multiple sizes at similar prices. The more off the beaten path, but the reading is more likely to find what you're looking at the Kindle store.

So what is the best eReader - Kindle or corner?

If eReader corner was not running to the market to make the stay of the 2009 season, and if Barnes & Noble had waited until they were ready and prepared software bugs, so I would say the corner has been a very good choice and the second perhaps equal to the Kindle.

In fact, the angle is now paralyzed from its software to remove a defective version and if B & N is a stable, timely angle will be overtaken by the next version of Kindle. Barnes & Noble said that they are constantly working to update the software and address current area, and to their credit, they have issued some updates for that entry. However, there are still many bugs and the area is slower than the Kindle, which is distracting when you try to dive into this next big book. In the current state of the LCD screen does not play well with e-ink and can be very frustrating to use.

Also, I prefer the Kindle store. My love for reading may be different from yours, however, I suggest you make a list of books you read and want to compare prices and availability in the Kindle Store and B & N offers. ebook higher price can quickly add.

The ability of the Kindle to connect to the Internet and Wikipedia, etc. also not be underestimated.

I believe that the Corner eReader eReader has the Potential to be great and maybe even the Kindle, But It is something of a gamble to buy one now and wait to see if Barnes & Noble can get all the faults fixed in time and also correspond to the Kindle store offers.
