Sony introduced today Reader™ (PRS-T2), a light and thin 6" eReader with an enhanced, intuitive touch screen optimized for long-term reading and the most natural, immersive reading experience. Sony's New eReader Provides Book Lovers with More Freedom to Read Anytime and Anywhere More information on the subject can be found after the break. Oh, and Sony's also throwing in a free copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, for good measure. The PRS-T2 offers up 2GB of storage, two English and four translation dictionaries (though, contrary to its name, doesn't do so in an Austrian accent), two months of battery life (WiFi off) and the customary six-inch Pearl E-Ink display for $129. On the store side of things, Sony's offering up browser-based account access now, so when users buy books on their desktop, they'll get pushed to the reader.
Users can also post passages from books, along with corresponding covers and other identifying information to Facebook, if you're the sort who loves to share such literary info. On the sharing side of things, Evernote functionality joins the fray here, letting users save their favorite passages to the service. Sony's promised more intuitive touch with the Reader PRS-T2, smoother zooming and improved page turning, this time out.
The company's been packing features onto its devices, and the already leaked latest entry is no different, with upgrades over its predecessor, packed into a newly redesigned body with bigger, better looking buttons. In the market for a new e-reader? One could certainly do worse than Sony's Reader line.
