Sony turns the page with new eReader

The arrival of a new generation of e-book readers in Canada, led by the Sony Reader PRS 505, is a story that suggests we’re nearing a peak of technological development. Does it mean e-book manufacturers will finally realize their dream of the past dozen years or so?

Technologically, perhaps. The Sony Reader PRS 505 is, compared to most of its competitors, small, capable of storing whole libraries, thin (15 mm, including its soft front and back leather-like covers), light enough (337 grams) to hold for a long period of time without fatigue, and ultimately really cool-looking. And the number of books being released is growing every day. Read more about the Sony eReader on the globeandmail.com website.
