New ereader

Because one can never have too many devices for reading…

My Sony PRS950 (Daily edition) arrived today! This model is not available in Australia, so I had to import it all the way from the US.

Sony PRS950 ereader

I’m still playing with it, but I’m loving it so far. Picture shows the difference that the larger screen makes. The PRS950 has a 7-inch screen. A rough comparison shows that it can display 19 lines of text as opposed to the 13 lines the 6-inch Kobo shows.

The processor in the Sony is super fast. It has a touch screen and I think I am going to particularly enjoy this feature (have already marked a paragraph in the book I’m currently reading, for example).

We now have three eInk readers in our household.

I’ll write some more about this ereader as I play with it.

Thanks so much for this, it’s so useful to see them side by side. I would love a Sony eReader.

The kobo is very pretty though.

Many thanks for your comments on the Sony 950. What warranty do you have for it given you purchased from the US? This is my only concern. Otherwise I think it looks great.
