The fabulous RED Sony Ebook reader PRS600 - with touch sensitivity

Its 6 inch eink screen is second to none in readability, the touch function lets you turn a page with a flick of your finger, just like with a real book, and yet it takes up less space than a very thin paperback book and can fit in your pocket. And of course the Sony PRS600 can hold literally hundreds of books - extend that to  thousands when you plug in the optional SD card. That’s the same SD card you use in your digital camera, costing only a few pounds for 4 Gigabytes of storage. And since a single ebook takes up on average 300 Megabytes, then you’re talking about carrying around with you over 13,000 ebooks. Yes, 13,000 ebooks on a single SD card. Yours, to take with you and read absolutely anywhere.

The touch sensitive function means that this Sony ereader isn’t covered with unsightly buttons and switches - you do it all by touching the screen, and it’s generally agreed that the PRS600 is Sony’s best to date.

It’s available in Black and Silver, of course, but now you can get an exclusive RED model which really shows off the style. Not many people will even know about the red ebook reader, let alone own one, so now’s your chance to be stylish and to be different.

Compare the black ereader, the silver ereader and the red ereader, then buy the red one. We did.

Sony PRS 600 RED ebook reader - exclusive

The red ebook reader features all the great things that the black and silver PRS 600 readers have, from crystal clear 6 inch display for great readability to touch controls for supreme ease of use. But it’s red. And not just any red reader, but a glowing red to really complement the screen and the e books you’re reading.

It’s only available here, and it’s sure to be in great demand like its predecessor the red Sony PRS 505 - I can’t tell you how many customers have ordered the red PRS 505 and been thrilled with it - so get your red ereader now while stocks last. This red ebook reader will turn your friends green!

Sony has issued two new models of ereader - the PRS600 which is a direct replacement for the 505, and the PRS300 which is a more compact pocket version ebook reader.

You can buy the PRS 600 ebook reader in silver, a stunning red or a discreet black, and the PRS300 ebook reader in silver or a nice shade of pink.

PRS600 uses the same great eink display as the old PRS505, but with the benefit of a touch-sensitive layer so you can take notes or turn the page with a flick of the finger.

Amazon Kindle available - but would you be better off with the Sony PRS505 ?

In fact Amazon in the UK are not selling the Kindle ebook reader. But Amazon in the USA will sell you a Kindle for $279  plus shipping and send it to you from the USA.

We thought it would be a good idea now to compare the Kindle with the UK’s best selling ebook reader, the Sony PRS 505 which is now available via our site for only £149 including delivery. Check out the comparison and let us know what you think.

1. Price - in today’s credit crunch Britain, price and value for money matter. And the Sony ebook reader is a lot cheaper than the Kindle at the current exchange rate, and the great price includes delivery. £149 all inc versus $279 plus shipping.

2. Availability - the Sonyebook reader  is shipped from one of the UK’s leading retailers. The Kindle is sent from America, so will take longer to get here. So if you want it fast, it’s the Sony ebook reader for you.

3. Looks -  we’re not alone in finding the Kindle unattractive. It’s cheap plasticky look and mass of buttons on the front were fine when the Kindle pioneered ebook readers and you expected it to look like an electronic gadget. But compare it with the Sony PRS 505 with its solid, rugged construction, smaller size and clean lines. And the Sony reader is available in a stylish red or sharp silver finish. This is down to personal taste. Which ebook reader would you rather own?

4. Wifi. If you want your ebooks delivered by wifi straight to your ebook reader, then there’s no contest. Only the Amazon can do it. But whether this matters depends on how you use the reader.

Most people download a few tens or hundreds of ebooks from the net on to their PC and then load them onto the reader via USB, or by SD card. Buying books on the spur of the moment when you’ve got your reader handy but not your computer doesn’t come into it. But if you do want that option, then you can buy ebooks direct from Amazon in the US  using the wifi connection on your Kindle. With the Sony ebook reader, you download them to your computer and then copy them across.

Note that with the Kindle you are limited to Amazon for buying your books wirelessly. With the Sony reader you can buy them from any merchant as you wish. We don’t think wifi matters, but you might do.

So there you have it, if you need wifi, and can afford it, then get the Kindle. If you don’t need wifi, then you’ll be better off with the Sony.

ebook reader screen protector

An ebook reader screen is pretty tough, but if you’re like me, then the slightest mark on a screen gets on your nerves and it makes sense for only a few pounds to protect it from those accidental marks and little scratches.

This great little ebook screen protector costs under a tenner and is sold specifically for the Sony ebook reader, but will fit exactly the same on any of the 6 inch screen readers - the Elonex, Cybook, Borders or Bebook as they all use identical screens.

And this ebook screen protector isn’t sticky, so if it gets marked you just peel it off leaving no nasty residue on your ebook screen, and pop another screen protector on. It’s as quick and simple as that.

You’ve paid almost £150 for your Sony red ebook reader - or even your Sony silver ebook reader (if it cost more, you didn’t buy it via this site) so why not invest in a few pounds more to protect it. Have a look at this great little screen protector - click the link below to find out more.

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.

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.

For around a tenner - and that includes postage - you can’t go wrong with this brilliant little ebook reader stand.
