Now I love my Sony ebook reader -  I wouldn’t be without it and take it everywhere with me. Coursework, novels, dictionaries – they’re all on there and available at the touch of a button. No more lugging round bags full of heavy tomes and textbooks for me! I’ve even got War and Peace on there, as it takes up hardly any room in ebook form and I might actually get round to reading it one day.

Well since I bought the Sony PRS 505, the price has dropped with competition from all the big retailers, but the red ereader had always been priced higher. And much as I loved the cool look of it, and thought that the red surround really set off the screen a treat, I wasn’t willing to pay a premium for the same ebook reader in a different colour. And here in the UK, supplies of the red ebook reader are strictly limited, which didn’t help.

But now, if you’re thinking that you really do want to stand out from the crowd with your own distinctive red ebook reader, and want the security of  the Sony ebook reader name – the PRS 5050 – well now you can get it for a limited time at the same price as the already great Silver Sony PRS 505 ebook reader. Yes, you read it first here.

It’s a limited special offer, and we don’t know when the price will go back up to the higher level, but if you act now, this is your chance to buy the red Sony PRS 505, king of ebook readers, for an the absurdly low price of £149.00 delivered. So follow our link and check it out.

designed as a netbook stand, great with ebook readers

This little ebook reader stand is actually sold as a stand for notebook computers, but it’s none the worse for that. You can actually use it to help prevent injury to your wrists when doing a lot of typing on your netbook or notebook by angling the keyboard to make it more comfortable. But it’s as an ebook reader stand that it comes into its own for me.

Ideal for older people who don’t have the wrist and hand strength they once had, this ebook reader stand is also great for youngies like myself who like to read for hours on end on a comfortable recliner with my ebook reader on the little table next to me. Believe me, you won’t know the comfort till you’ve tried it.

Shootout for back to college reading – cheap ebook reader vs cheap netbook

August 19, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Ebook readers blog

Now we’ve all got a cheap netbook – or if we haven’t we’ll surely be getting one before school or college starts again in a few weeks time. Wow how the hols have flown by!

And a lot of students use their netbook for absolutely everything.

Netbook for watching vids or movies, netbook for listening to music, netbook for typing assignments and essays, and especially netbook for reading books and coursework. Most texts are available in ebook versions nowadays, and most students – either at school or uni – have their texts on their netbook in ebook form – not to mention the latest Harry Potter!

cheap ebook reader, the ideal companion for a cheap netbook

But the key thing about an eink screen as opposed to even the best TFT displays is that the eink screen has no backlight. And no backlight equals no eyestrain. It’s just a fact that you can’t read for as long on your netbook as you can on anebook reader. And it’s also a fact that students have to do an awful lot of reading.

So compared with even the  best netbook displays like that on the Samsung N110 netbook (a fabulous netbook for students) it’s just less strain on the eye.

An ebook reader is smaller than a netbook, so you can pop it in your pocket, and carry it about everywhere. And since electronic books (ebooks) are minute compared with MP3s, your ebook reader can hold hundreds of books (or thousands with the optional SD card).

Plug the ebook reader into a USB port on your netbook upload your coursebooks, dictionaries , and you’re away. And because it only uses power when actually doijng  something like turning pages rather than reading,  your ebook reader needs charging once a week or less rather than every few hours as with the netbook.

It’s simply a matter of the right tools for the job. Watch vids, listen to MP3s, surf the net and Skype with your netbook. But do your all your coursework and leisure reading on your ebook reader. I don’t know many students now who don’t adopt this eye-friendly approach.

And as we posted earlier, we’ve got the cheapest place on the net Sony’sebook reader.

Buy one now and, you’ll be well prepared  for  back to college or back to school.  Check it out below.

Sony PRS505 ebook reader – silver

August 6, 2009 by admin  
Filed under silver

Students and leisure readers alike will love this stylish ebook reader with its great 6 inch e-ink screen and front-mounted controls.

sony-prs505-ebook-reader

You’ll love reading novels, textbooks or essays on your Sony pRS505 ebook reader and be able to carry about the whole term’s books in your pocket. Battery life is about 7,000 page turns, which means you’ll need to charge it every week or two. This is because the e-ink display doesn’t use any power to display your books, and the ebook reader only needs to call on the battery for page-turns and other physical operations.

Charging is by the supplied USB lead, which you can  connect to your PC, laptop or netbook or plug into a separate mains/USB charger which you can buy for a few pounds. Ebooks are loaded from the internet to your computer, and from there to the Sony ebook reader via USB, or by means of an optional SD which plugs into the edge of the reader.

Contemporary books can be purchased and downloaded online, and there is also a vast range of free classic books whose copyright has expired. The Sony PRS 505 comes complete with a number of free books already installed, so you can hit the ground running.

It’s great for novels, fiction and general books in text format, but the Sony has a PDF reflow feature which means that it makes a great reader for PDF books where pictures and graphics play a large part.

You can even set your own text size to suit yourself, so if your eyesight isn’t what it used to be, then the Sony could be the reader for you.

No wonder the Sony PRS 505 is the biggest selling ebook reader in the UK.
