Sony Reader Daily Edition review

 

The Sony Reader Daily Edition is available only in the US, and Sony has yet to reveal when it will be be available in the UK. The Sony Reader Daily Edition was tested by our colleagues in San Francisco at the PC World labs.

Sony Reader Daily Edition

 

Sony's high-end eReader, with lots of bells and whistles

Pricey in comparison to other eReaders

Sony Reader Daily Edition

 

The Sony Reader Daily Edition is a solid E-Ink reader. And if wireless and 3G capabilities are a must for you, it’s a great investment. Like the other Sony devices, by supporting both industry standard formats, ePub and PDF, you can access...
