ConsumerReports reports on the Sony Reader
ConsumerReports had a hands-on look at the Sony Reader and here is what they like and don't like:
Pros:
Cons:
Bottom line: The Reader is better than earlier e-books we've tested and costs less than current rivals--notably the i-Rex Iliad, to be released soon at a price of $800. That said, like many new works, it could use some revision. The unit is back-ordered at least a month on Connect e-Books, which might suggest that sales are strong. Still, we don't believe this first-generation Reader is quite ready to be a mainstream bestseller. |

I get the impression that ConsumerReports just casually used the Reader. Look at the cons they listed... delay, zoom in, unfriendly controls, built-in light... whoever wrote this is not an ebook reader.

I usualy discount anything they say. They have trouble with anything electronic.
