Review: Excellent - in a very specific, limited way... - I bought a Sony PRS-300 to research the feasibility of using it for holding technical documentation for service engineers 'in the field'. A couple of things become apparent immediately; whilst the e-paper screen itself is very readable, it is too small and the Reader is very slow. Most .pdf manuals are rendered with a minute size of typeface, and are therefore unreadable. The 'zoom' function often does not work, and when it does it is slow - so slow that I often gave up trying. So for using it to read technical documentation it is a fail. However, text only material I created (as A5 .pdf files with 12pt text) worked well, so it was usable for simple text lists and tables. Using it for its intended purpose (as an eBook reader) was much more successful; the free eBooks downloaded from the Sony Reader site were perfect. Others in various (.lit .lrf) formats were from excellent to average, again mostly due to font/page size issues. Verdict? As a reader of eBooks formatted specifically for the PRS-300 it is excellent. As a reader of other eBook formats it is excellent to OK depending on page and font sizes. As a general purpose .pdf document reader it is mostly unusable due to font/page size problems. For my intended use it's no good, but my girlfriend loves it for reading novels on long airplane flights. I also highly recommend Calibre, the eBook management software available FREE from the interweb. This is far better Sony's rather flaky offering.
Review: Fantastic E-reader - ok firstly i bought this product on the 22nd jan and only writing this review now, as i have finished my 8th novel. That is how engrossed i have been, using this new e reader. i couldnt believe how fast delivery was, i had it the next morning! Easy to install, and no glitches, as i have read on some reviews, however i think this is down to computer versions/ software etc. the E Reader itself, is amazing, the pages are just like the pages you get in books, same quality. and page tunring is very simple, and again in my opinion, the page turn delay, (which i dont really notice) is negligable. battery life is very very good, as i have said i finished my first novel, over 3000 pages and afterwards it then needed charging, which i found amazing. all in all i would say i made the correct choice in choosing this model over the touch screen one. one slight negative i would say is that i only used desertcart as my friends bought an evoucher for my birthday to buy this. If you shop around you can pick this up for a slightly cheaper price, but having said that, the speed and service, and reviews on desertcart did make this the better choice. 10/10 product, very happy with it, and got a long holiday to Dubai soon, and this will be in my pocket for the long flights and lazy days....a great companion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact reading - good to go
*by A***R on 13 March 2010*

I wasn't sure about the concept of reading from a screen, after all, if you like reading you get used to the feel of a book. The smell of the print, the whole experience of a well worn favourite. You don't have to stop reading books. The convenience of this reader is great and it will certainly a great addition to the holiday luggage. The screen is easy to read even in sunlight and the convenience of storing up to 350 books on a hand held device is brilliant. I'm getting through more books than I used to. I didn't choose the touch screen version because I can't stand finger marks all over the screen that I get with other devices. The latest readers that promise colour screens and the ability to play MP3's would just be a distraction. I've got my Ipod Touch for that. I'm very pleased with this device and I'm glad I bought it.
