Sony’s PRS-500


E-book publishing world and readers have been hoping for a suitable reading device for a long time. So far we had to use Pocket PC, Palm handhelds, SmartPhones, Tablet PCs, PCs, or Laptops, basically whatever device we could get hold of and none of them was really suitable.I am sure like myself, it was burdensome experience for you as well.
In September 2006 Sony launched its much awaited portable reading device PRS-500 and it's a beauty. I bet you, it makes reading e-books a great pleasure and you don't have to take those printout anymore. It's 880 by 600 pixel screen gives a resolution of approximately 170 pixels per inch, which far exceeds the standard LCD display of 90 to 120 pixels per inch and gives it the sharpness comparable to the new prints. A 64MB of internal memory can hold up to 80 electronic books and you can store hundreds more on the optional removable memory cards. Its rechargeable internal battery can power you through up to 7,500 continues page turns, which is quit a lot.The special button to navigate the pages and chapters and change the text size are very helpful.
At $350 it looks pricey to me but if you are an e-book aficionado go for it.
