This is a third generation e-book reader. Some nice little features include:
-- Brisk refresh rate. It's almost as fast as turning a real paper page.
-- Eight shades of gray.
-- The device finds compatible files anywhere on the MSC drive, and the reader finds and indexes them.
-- Internal memory has increased to 192MB.
-- It is only 0.3 inches thick.
-- Startup is near instantaneous from "off" (standby).
Buy it from Sony Style.
Or wait for the PRS-700BC. It features an interactive touch screen display and built-in light.
