The case is plastic, not metal like the PRS-650, so it doesn't feel quite as solid, but it still feels very substantial and it really is much lighter.
The wifi feature is good, but a bit limited because you still can't use it to buy books. You can double tap on a word, like before, and it will go online to Wikipedia and you can check stuff out on Google, so it does have a browser.
They are being released for sale in Australia next month and they will retail for $179 AU, much less than the $299 for the PRS-650. |
Wow, that's a fantastic price!
