When the Sony Digital Book Reader arm of electronics giant announced the introduction of three new digital book readers to the stable, situated in the no it was even released their flagship Daily Edition from the scope of the first attempt at a truly portable eBook reader.

It took several years to become their joint activities, but Sony Corp. finally realized the potential and huge market, the wireless reading device. Daily will soon be released, Wireless model for the gap in their coverage, as well as Edition flagship model to hit stores in early December and retail for $ 100 more than the Kindle 2 for about $ 399. Saying that it is not surprising to come in every form closer to the Kindle is $ 299, taking into account what is going on recently and the fact that the price would have to be taken at a time when the Kindle is $ 349 per trade.

Will use the AT & T's 3G wireless network to connect to the online Sony-eBook-store and other comparable book-stores to get the magazines, newspapers, books electronic and other print media. It will be similar to the Kindle, which uses the Sprint network but, in contrast to the Kindle will support formats Daily epub files, such as, which is used by many Internet or e-libraries, electronic versions of popular titles lend itself to You can read not only books that sell. This sends a message to buyers of digital readers, saying they wanted so that buy them from Sony-eBook-store but if you decide to buy elsewhere that is fine and Sony Reader Digital Book will be able to do so. This openness is far from past attitudes, in which companies try to tie their models for buyers to purchase their books for.

A large part of the appeal has always been a fan the ability to "buy" on the fly. "In my eyes, it seems Sony finally I understood that to get to the conditions of the sale of Kindle, they have to offer a comparable number of titles, so readers are able to real choice. Probably it was impractical to extend their range to anywhere near the reported titles from 350k to keep in digital format, so they have achieved by the first in the most popular freebies eBook file format, Adobe PDF, and then allowing the files to download from many independent booksellers, as Powells.com and Waterstones.co.uk. Only with the inclusion of PDF support enabled readers to access Google Library 1M plus free titles .. neat eh.

With the release of a touch screen, Wi-Fi Daily Edition, along with other models Edition Reader and Touch, must cover all the bases and got back in the game. Sony extend their potential customers. Kindle offers so the touch screen enabled, wireless model with a large screen, clumsy, like a desktop calculator DX, but Retail price significantly above the expected daily and supports many fewer file formats. It seems the DX will be restricted to use only activity 1:1 namely A4 document, plan or drawing reading, in the near future.

Another useful feature in this Sony digital book reader is able to wireless access, e-books, nascent services in your local library. The library card, you can use in your ZIP code from the keyboard touch screen and a portable eBook reader will connect you to the selected branch. At the time of this writing, there are no plans for Sony to download directly to their services wireless or a specific list on what newspapers and magazines will be available for download. Also, users will be able to access Internet, as they can, with both models, Kindle, or change the text to speech, which, if you have not heard that the results of the Kindle is not a great loss.

Every issue of the digital book reader Sony is not on the market of digital readers is to be seen, but in the end give the Kindle a few stiff competition in the sector portable eBook reader, which has been dominated for so long. As they say, watch this space.
