That reminds me of the "special" edition Eat, Pray, Love Sony Reader. It was just the silver 300 with a coupon and a different cover than sold in the stores. Not a big deal in my opinion. But being a very big Harry fan, it depends on exactly what that cover looks like. I'm torn. I initially thought, meh, I love my 5", I love the metal case, don't want plastic, not that different from the 350 etc....I just love new toys. LOL I had hoped they'd make a special Harry themed reader but was reminded of the Eat, Pray, Love & the Breast Cancer bundles - same readers bundled with a special case & ebook coupon.

^ Heh. A nice HP-themed skin (in matte) might hide the plastic gloss nicely. A skin sounds plausible. Much cheaper to manufacture, surely?

It's Harry Potter. Given all the fans who'll shell out money just because it's a Harry Potter collectible despite the fact they'll never actually use the device or read the ebooks, I would hope Sony would be smart enough to capitalize on that and create a really special looking reader.

What need buttons ?

I just wish they would keep the 5'' inch form factor too but maybe (hopefully) thats still coming. Especially as this reader is even longer (though thinner) than the 650. My 650 is just a bit big for me.

If Sony were serious, they'd integrate their e-book store with the rest of the Sony stores and electronic devices. Granted, I'm not sure many people would want to read books on a TV via their PS3, but why not the PSP (and its upcoming successor, the Vita*)? They should have done that years ago. Even now it's not too late, with a budget model PSP aimed at Europe
* Presumably that will be able to run the Android reader app Sony has, but you never know... |
