Sony Reader Daily Edition Begins Shipping

Tweet

Sony have officially announced today that their Daily Edition reader that the company revealed back in August is finally shipping. Apparently all pre-orders taken before December 20th will be given green light and should start shipping in the next 48 hours — just in time to be put under that beautiful Christmas tree of yours.

One of the most hyped reader coming from Sony, the Daily Edition brings a 7-inch e-ink touch screen display, 1.6GB of storage and the much anticipated  free 3G wireless access for mobile ebook downloads, courtesy of AT&T’s network.

Measuring just 0.6-inch thin and weighing only 12.75 ounces, the Reader Daily Edition is to be delivered with six adjustable font levels (easy reading for everyone, in either portrait or landscape mode), supports multiple file formats including ePub and PDF, and allows access to over one million free public domain titles from Google Books.

Other than the deal with Google, various libraries have announced that they’ll offer users access to loaned library titles, which delete themselves after 29 days from first being accessed. On top of that you probably remember the New York Post and Dow Jones exclusive content deal … right?

Sony’s Reader Daily Edition, is yours for $399.99.
