SONY has just announced their latest entrance into the world of e-book
readers, what with the Sony Reader Wi-Fi – and if you are a innate fan of model
numbers, you can always call it the PRS-T1. This is touted to be the lightest
touch screen 6″
eReader device in the market and to date, where it claims to deliver the
most natural and immersive reading occurrence yet for book lovers in a digital
format, of course.
The new Reader Wi-Fi will continue where last year’s line left off, where it
is smaller and lighter now without sacrificing on recital as new and enhanced
features have been incorporated. Tipping the scales at less than 6 ounces, this
particular Sony Reader Wi-Fi will come with a 6″ E-Ink Pearl V220 touch screen demonstrate,
where it is far smaller than your typical paperback book so that it can fit
into a bag or pocket in a jiffy. To conform to Sony’s signature device
releases, this one too, will come in more than one color – black, red or white.
Sony’s Reader Wi-Fi also achieves another first
by being the first model that delivers wireless connectivity to the public
library system in both the US and Canada over a dedicated icon on the device
that enables easy and convenient borrowing of free e-books courtesy of a valid
library card. Apart from that, you are able to open up your mind to more than
2.5 million titles via a Wi-Fi connection from the Reader Store, where those
who want to build up their digital book anthology can do so by purchasing
additional copies from a wide range of bookstores and other websites.
The Reader Wi-Fi will also sport a glare-free Clear Dual Touch screen
display with E-Ink Pearl electronic paper technology, delivering a high
contrast image which would be easy on the eyes, even when you are reading under
direct sunlight for hours on end. Want to flip the page? That’s easily done by
swiping your finger, and you can zoom in on the text through the now standard
pinching gesture.
