Bought this to replace a PRS500 and it's a big improvement. Looks and feels better. Button interface simplified. Seems to respond quicker. Reads generic ebook formats like ePub and isn't tied to a particular provider like a Kindle is. Feels solid and well made and is a decent heft in the hand. Not sure that the ability to draw or sketch has much value but the ability to play music while reading is terrific. If you don't know, these use a different screen technology from a tablet - the screen uses an electrostatic pigment that requires little power. It isn't luminescent so can't be read in the dark; but the brighter the light, the better it can be read so can be read in the sun. Great for holiday reading. The only downside, shared with other Sony PRS readers is charging.....it's a bit tricky. It will only charge from a USB that is attached to a PC via a data USB cable. They will not charge using a USB wall charger or if you use a non-data cable attached to your PC. But then again they don't use much power so charging is an infrequent necessity. The processor is also a bit old technology so it isn't speedy fast to turn on or respond to menu commands but the long battery life and ability to read in the sun makes it a terrific product for holidays and there are great bargains out there. Check with the vendor that the battery is ok, and that it will take and hold a charge as some out there are a bit past it.Read full review

Great product. Light, easy to navigate. I have had a quite a few readers by different manufacturers, but, in my experience, that one, SONY, is absolute winner. I bought SONY for myself, my partner, my Dad, and everyone is delighted. It has good weight, easy to change pages when you reading in bed and using one hand. LOL, But It Is IMPORTANT!!!!!!!! Also, The QUALITY OF THE ELECTRONIC INC IS VERY GOOD. It is not so good on some other readers. And, last, but NOT LEAST- ADJUSTABLE SIZE OF SCRIPT. One would expect it from all readers for granted. But, surprisingly enough, you can spend £200 on other top name reader, only to find that the letters are tiny , and you can not do anything about it......... As it happened with me once.... Battery life is good.
Fantastic value! Has brought me back to books! OK, the screen isn't all that easy to see and depends on careful external illumination. Yes, the interface is a bit clunky but, oh my, it means I can read when and where I want to and it's a lot easier than a paper book. On the plus side, it was really inexpensive as second hand and the Sony build quality is heavy but in a good way!
