Sony Reader WiFi Now Up For Pre-order

Sony E-Reader Debuted During IFA 2011 Now Available For Pre-order

The Sony Reader WiFi that debuted back in IFA 2011 is now available for pre-order on the Sony website for $149.99! Sony touts it as the “world’s lightest” e-reader at 0.37 pounds – something I don’t really see as a draw, seeing as e-readers in general don’t tend to be heavy devices. The device has a 6-inch touchscreen E-ink display with 2GB of internal memory good for storing 1,200 books. You can expand the storage through a microSD card, too.

Sony put up the pre-order on its site with a release date of October 16. But it changed to October 2 for a short period of time (as you can see on the screenshot below) before going back to the original date. The Sony Reader WiFi’s battery can last 14,000 page turns or a month on a single charge. Available in red, black, and white, the Sony Reader WiFi has built-in Google and Wikipedia search, and can be used to borrow e-books from public libraries where available.

      “Unlike its predecessors, you can now highlight and take notes on this Sony Reader, making it a worthy competitor to the Amazon Kindle and the B&N Nook.”

      This quote is incorrect because previous Sony Readers have always had the ability to highlight and take notes, you could even export the notes if you wanted.

      Ah, yes. You’re right. Thanks very much for the correction.
