I love this because I no longer need to find shelf space nor take up valuable storage areas for books. I have read approximately 12 books and have only charged once. I would recommend it to everyone.

I received my reader a week ago and couldn't be happier!! Not only is it a great way to read books, but also, Sony is a very professional company to work with! There software for the reader is extremely easy to use and simplier than itunes!!
I purchased this to just read popular books and the Sony Ebook website has a great assortment of popular and best seller books. The price on new release books is a little high - but just wait and they become reduced to a price that doesn't hurt your ... Read More
