Sony Reader

Sony Reader
When I make a large purchase, I need to justify it to myself . Purchasing the Sony Reader was easy to justify. It’s obviously a “green” choice – no paper books to purchase, no gas wasted transporting books to and from locations, etc. For a more personal benefit, it eases concern about how much my luggage weighs when I’m going on a trip; and the fact that the font size can be enlarged only gave it more appeal.

If you’re not familiar with the Sony Reader, you can download up to 160 books on the portable device. It weighs about nine ounces and is about the size of a large greeting card. You purchase the books from the on-line store; the prices could be cheaper, but they are certainly more reasonable than a book store. The battery lasts quite awhile because the display is not backlit. That also makes it easier to read and you get about 7500 page turns with each charge.
