Pocket Edition Reader

I used to have a Sony e-reader. It was awful. I switched to Kindle as soon as I could.

I can’t believe your Sony e-reader still works. I loved mine but it was so slow. I gave up. Yes, I miss tactile buttons. I miss my Blackberry. It is the one tech I mourn the hardest.

Most of the PRS-300, 350 & 505 I get are very crisp and clear, as long as you're reading in the daytime. You do get the odd one where it's hopeless.

I bought a PRS-300 a year or two ago off ebay for the novelty of it, and I've recently been reading on it a lot more. Mostly for webnovels. - I love the aluminum casing. It feels so solid without a case on it and it doesn't feel like it will slip out of my hands. - I got it for the size and I love i

i got a sony PRS-T2 for $7 at an op shop last week, and i love it. super simple and easy to use, has a microSD card slot for expansion up to 32gb, and it's fairly snappy with page turns, plus you can rotate the text to read horizontally if you like. i also like the clicky navigation, home and menu b
