Love it

on February 2, 2010

Got my Pocket Edition Sony Reader in December and couldn't be more delighted. Use it every evening for two to four hours.

Would I have preferred the larger model? Of course. But affordability is an issue for me. This little Reader does the job.

Pros:Â Fast setup, Simple controls, Easy to use

Great little book

on January 2, 2010

The reader works really well, and it is the PRS 300 - which is the new model that is very compact and easy to pack around. The model on the web page is the PRS 505 which is now obsolete - Sony does not make it any more... Obvious why Sears cannot ship it since it is no longer available, but they should update the webpage to show the correct model.

Pros:Â Fast setup, Attractive design, Simple controls, Easy to use

Small and light - easy to read.

on December 31, 2009

I love it! Small and light - easy to read. I already have 200+ books on it. That is enough to carry around, the rest I just store on my laptop. The only problem I had was not charging it fully right away. Take about 4 hours via computer.

Pros:Â Fast setup, Simple controls, Easy to use

Cons:Â needs an ac adapter

Not The Product It says it is

on December 25, 2009

This is not the Item that the web site describes. the web site details and pictures are for the Sony PRS 505S. The only one they carry is the Sony PRS 300 Pocket reader which is a newer reader but does not have expandable memory or mp3 capability. unless you want a smaller, bare bones and i think harder to use reader do not buy this product.

battery charger

Q:Â

There is no mention of a charger (auto or home) being supplied with the ebook, is this something I will have to purchase separately? And if so where and at what cost?

It doesn't come supplied with an AC charger (either home or auto). It does come with a USB cable, and can be charged via your computer's USB port.

You can purchase an offical Sony AC charger for around $40 from the SonyStyle.ca store. Unofficially, you can also use a charger made for the Sony PSP (handheld video game system)... there are lots of 3rd party PSP chargers to be found for as low as $10.

Can this be used while reading at night. So you don't have to have a lamp on in the bedroom to keep your spouse awake.

Answers

A:Â

Sony Readers (or others, for that matter) do not have backlighting or any light source. This is for 2 reasons:

1) the battery drain would be severe and you would not be able to read nearly as long as you can with current models

2) Sony tried a backlight on an earlier model and it made the text very difficult to read.

You will still need a light source. You can purchase one of those little clip on reading lamps, they work quite well with the Reader. Also, you can buy covers for the reader with a built-in lamp. This not only protects your Reader from scratches, but means you always have a light source handy as well.
