Sony eReader In the Wild


Phil Torrone from Make got his hands on a Sony eReader, then proceeded to take some pictures of it instead of using it to read. In any case, it actually looks pretty decent, and dare we say it, usable!

So far, from what we can see, the lettering is nice and big, and very bright even in the sun. It plays MP3 and AAC files, and takes SD cards for expanded memory. PT will have a full review of the eReader up soon, and if it’s anything like this sneak peek shows, we may have to go buy one ourselves for reading on public transportation. That is, if we actually went outside.

That’s the opening of “1984″ if anyone was wondering.

These things will only take off when downloading eBooks becomes as good as downloading audio, meaning cheap and easy…

Still I can’t really see myself using that, I love my overburdened bookshelves…

A lot of people have been clammering for the Sony eReader on engadget and gizmodo for awhile. This is an especially great device for those people that enjoy “reading” and travel frequently.
