Its dimensions are small, with only 69 mm length, 43,5 mm width and 14,8 mm depth and weights only 19,5 grams so it can easily be putted to any pocket or to any key ring.

This cool gadget had received a big number of recognitions and awards since it was released, like Taiwan Excellence Award, in 2007, Good Design Product, Product Design Award in 2008, and News Tips Cherry Pick Award. Also, the company which manufactures it, have an entire line of USB memories, apart for it.

Sony released their first E-reader. Even if its form it is like a normal book, this cool gadget have an electronic paper developed by the E Ink Corporation. The display have   166  dots per inch density in 5 inch resolution version, 8 levels of gray scales, to improve and adapt the reading by the user's needs. The PRS-900 model have 16 levels. These dates means that the LCD display can be seen in direct sun light. The E-book don't require any power to keep a static image.


The user can purchase and download materials from the Sony Connect e-Book  Store  which use an iTunes store as interface. It can display PDFs, ePubs, RSS feeds, JPEGs, BBeBs formats. It can play even MP3s or AAC unencrypted.

The bad part of this hot gadget is that the purchased e-books can be shared only between six devices, but you can register 5 up to 5 readers to one account and share e-books accordingly.

The Sony e-book competes with other names from the industry of e-paper: iRex, iLiad, Amazon Kindle, CyBook.

Since September 2006, there have been released 6 models, starting with the PRS 500. The PRS 700 have a touch screen and was announced at the start of October 2008.  On August 25, 2009, the Reader PRS 900 Daily Edition was announced and featured a 7 inch diagonal and free 3G wireless via AT&T for an easy access of Sony e-Book Store without a personal computer.  It have a 512 MB internal memory but only 380 MB accessible, the others being necessary for the operating system. It have a support for Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo and SDHC.



The rate of the screen it is pretty slow, the page rate being update in 0,5 up to 1 second. That's why Sony didn't implemented any sophisticated menu software or scroll for zoomed pages.

From the release of the Sony E-Book Library PC interface, the software was compatible only with the Windows operating system but, on the August 25, 2009, Sony released a Mac OS compatible software , in the same day they announced the PRS  900.

Another bad part of this E-books is that it can't be configured for the use of another language than English dictionary, this language been set as the default lookup dictionary, in 2 variants: american English version and British English version.  Many users still hope, especially on the international activity market, that they will solve this problem and they will introduce also as dictionaries some foreign languages or that they will let dual-language dictionaries to be set as default.
