 Sony's Japanese ebook reader
Sony has recently launched a product designed to read e-books
Although e-books are still far from popular, Sony hopes to change that with one of its newest products. At CES, Sony launched what they call the Sony Reader, a handheld device that is designed for e-books. The six-inch black and white screen is supposedly as easy to read as a printed page from an actual book.
The device is a bit over a half inch thick and weighs almost 9 ounces. The Sony Reader will be available this spring and should cost between $300 and $400. However, at the nearly the same cost as low-end or used laptops, we're not quite sure spending $300 to $400 on a screen that just reads e-books is worth the money when a used notebook can do all that and much more.
