Sony recently announced its  new line of Readers that  feature a host of new design and technology enhancements that make them the perfect device for any reader’s lifestyle. 

The new Reader models bring a fresh level of flare to e-reading with colourful, elegant aluminum designs and all new, highly responsive touch screens. In addition to the new devices, Sony announced development of a set of applications for iPhone and the Android Marketplace to extend the Reader experience across multiple portable devices.

“The success of our previous line of Readers illustrates book lovers’ demand for feature choices and full touch screens on their digital reading devices,” said Tim Algate, Product Manager- Reader Digital Books at Sony of Canada Ltd. “Today, we’re answering their call by providing an entire line of stylish, full touch screen devices with a variety of features and price points.”

What’s New

The new generation of Reader™ digital books by Sony builds on the popularity of last year’s line.  For 2010 Sony has restyled all of the devices, reduced their size and weight, and made new, innovative touch screens available across the line.   

By next month, integration with Goodreads will permit the inclusion of reader reviews from that site.

The Reader Pocket and Touch Editions, as well as available accessories such as AC adaptors, cases and covers with reading lights, are available now at SonyStyle.ca, SonyStyle stores, and selected retailers across Canada.
