Sony E-Reader

Latest addition to my electronic gadget family; Sony E-Reader.

This is the pocket edition, it’s a tiny little thing that doesn’t weight much more than a book. At 150$ (found on sale at Fry’s) It does what it’s meant to do quite well. You don’t even need to install any special software to use it, just mount it like any external storage devices, drag your files in, you’re done. That’s all I really need from ebook reader.

I was interested in Amazon’s Kindle ever since I have heard about its existence. But 3 things stopped me from even thinking about it; 1. The price. 2. It doesn’t even work in Thailand. 3. You can’t easily put your own files on it*. That pretty much rendered it useless to me. A shame really, I quite like how it looks.

*I know you can put your own files on it, but it’s not a simple matter of just mount it and drop the file in, as far as I know
