BusinessWeek gives Sony Reader a 3.5/5 in second round
After receiving a less than stellar review back in October last year, the Sony Reader scores surpisingly well in a more recent hands-on by BusinessWeek's editor Cliff Edwards. His final verdict (emphasis mine):

Quote:
The Sony Reader is a very good first foray into the electronic book market. While there's no substitute for the feel you get with a real book, with a few adjustments to the software, and as more books become available digitally, it could quickly turn into the device everyone wants to have.
  • The Good: Can store up to 80 books, some blogs, and display black-and-white photos; long battery life
  • The Bad: Ink hard to read in poor lighting; online site hard to navigate; Windows PC needed to buy books
  • The Bottom Line: An environmental plus and a good way to lighten the load for frequent travelers
