Sony bookreader prs 3504/10/2023 Overall I am really happy with my Sony reader, minus the few minor points I have with it and the E Ink technology. Look at that, half the size of my phone and about the same thickness as my Ipod. It slips into my jacket pocket very nicely. It is not much larger than my phone or my Ipod. I feel that Sony could have put page turning buttons on the side edges of the reader to allow you to have a more fluid and comfortable reading experience, rather than having to change the position of your hand/fingers every time you need to change pages. It can become quite awkward when holding for a lengthy period of time, So the device allows you to turn pages by swiping the screen. That is the limitation of the E Ink technology at the moment. My one gripe with it however is that when turning pages there is a flicker on the screen where it turns all black for about half a second. It truly is breathtaking how much like a book it is. The screen, as it is not back-lighted, has no glare, even in direct sunlight. E Ink really has to be seen to be believed, it is exactly like the pages from a book. It feels very cheap to hold and I wouldn’t want to press too hard through fear of it snapping. The reader allows you to create drawings that can be saved, then retrieved later on. this is handy for making notes on the pages, using the notes function. The reader features a stylus that pulls out from the top. It has five physical buttons on the front that are pretty self-explanatory, these are: two for page turning, a home button, a button to change font sizes (ranging from from XS - XL) and a button to change various options for the device. The reader has a small reset button on the bottom side along with the mini USB port It is quite difficult to turn off the device, you slide the switch over to the off position, hold it there for a second or two, then the reader asks if you really want to power off, then you have to press yes on the screen before it finally turns off. The reader has a power slider running along the top. Quite odd placement of the logo on the back The homescreen is nicely laid out, it shows the book currently being read, the last 3 books added to the reader and also your collections of books on the device. This reader comes with a 2gb memory, which is ample storage (up to 1200 books) but I would have liked the option to extend the memory with a memory card. The reader supports various file types such as EPUB, PDF, Text, RTF, Word and BBeB. The touch-screen aspect of the reader is a nice touch as you can double-tap any particular word you don’t understand, then the inbuilt dictionary pops up with the meaning of said word. ThePRS-350 is a 5" reader that sports a touch-screen E Ink display. I went for the Sony Digital Book Reader PRS-350. So I went and bought something I have wanted for a while now, an Ebook reader.
