Sony Prs-300

How good is the Sony PRS-300?

I have thought about getting this since its £149.99 at waterstones. Are e-readers any good and does this support using my own PDFs? I have a load of books I want to read and find the monitor a bit of strain so I was wondering if this is a better solution.

thanks for the responses, however, I live in the UK and I would prefer buying rather than importing. the internation version:

1. Doesnt have the web browser
2. Doesnt download ANY images
3. costs £160 (est.)

Many ebook readers support PDF files, including Sony PRS-300.

However, I'll say the Kindle 2 instead of Sony Reader. Read here to know more:

I own the Kindle 2 and I like it very much. It is better than Sony Reader because Amazon provide good content support, and the number of books available in Kindle format is kept on increasing (right now there are 300,000 Kindle books). Sony Reader, however, many users complain that it is difficult to find suitable books.

And the main problem is that books on Sony Reader are much more expensive than that on the Kindle (tips: if you're outside the U.S. all the Kindle books you see will have a price of US$2 added. But if you choose to download to computer when you check out, the $2 will be waived. So you can get the books US$2 cheaper even if you're outside the United States, and you can copy the books to your Kindle through USB cable). And many Kindle books, magazines and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. Other benefits of the Kindle over Sony Reader include the free wireless internet access (now available internationally in many countries), and the text-to-speech function.

And you know, Amazon gave a price drop for the Kindle 2 just before Xmas. It is now at a really good price.

Hope this helps.

Know anything about E book/ E reader?

I'm thinking of buying an E book/ E reader especially that of Sony PRS-300. Here are a few of my questions.

1) Is it worth it to buy an Ebook? I travel alot,and my bag has no space for bulky books.

2) Is downloading the books free? Can I get stories for free?Or do I have to pay for it?

3)Is there any better brand than the Sony PRS-300? [Price range not exceeding $200 USD]

1) Yes, I do think so. I'm saving my money to get an Amazon Kindle DX. You can read this review and you'll know why it is worth:

2) No, you need to buy books on it. But e-books are cheaper than actual books in general. For Amazon Kindle, there are several thousand free books in public domain you can get, and it is mentioned in an article here:

This website also provide over 20,000 free books in the public domain. They are readable on Amazon Kindle or Sony Reader:

3) I think Sony PRS-300 is the cheapest e-book reader right now already. You can check the price on Amazon:

You may get it from Amazon too. They provide reasonable shipping cost.
