Mobile Tech Review on the new Sony Touch Edition
By Paul Biba
Mobile Tech Review has long been one of the best, if not the best, review sites on the web. Lisa Gade, Editor in Chief, always does a superb job. She’s just reviewed the new Sony Touch and, as is usually the case, you don’t need to bother with any other reviews. The picture is from the site and is a comparison of the contrast of the 505 and 600 text. Here’s the conclusion, but I urge you to read the whole thing:
Sony has done a very good job this time, and the Sony Reader Touch Edition is a pleasure to use in terms of touch interface and screen readability. For $299, the Reader offers a great array of features including native PDF support with zoom, ePUB and Adobe Digital Editions compatibility, the responsive 6″ eInk touch screen with natural page turn gesture support, both text and graphical note taking applications, text annotation (both highlighter and pencil style) and Google book compatibility.

Thanks, Scott. Fixed.
Meanwhile..advice to shoppers. Best to read reviews from different sources, and I suspect Paul would agree. Here at TeleRead, Chris Meadows wrote thousands of words just about one Sony Reader. The other point is that reviews are just a single source of information. In the aggregate, comments from actual users can mean a lot, and we encourage people to speak up about machines under discussion here, whether or not they agree with our own impressions.
Thanks,
David
