It’s a very superficial review… It’s like a Sony’s brochure…!!!
Is it possible to download periodicals on the PRS 600 touch edition and read them as on the Daily Edition?I mean, is there any difference? I own a PRS 600 and have not tried periodicals yet, but I am considering buying subscriptions to several newspapers and magazines.
Hi, is there a possibility to keep a large amount of ebooks in folders for example named by author’s names (like a data on HD in computer)?
Thank you so much for this review. I depend on vids like this to decide if I should order this brand versus The Nook. The Nook is a bit cheaper, but customer service e-mails I have regarding my questions are rude, and as a teacher, I feel we shouldn’t financially support companies that hire rude people. (Teachers give detentions to pupils for rudeness, so these employees’s salaries shouldn’t be supported by our hard-earned money, right?)
Does the double tapping on a word on .pdf format bring up the dictionary? Most of my textbooks are in .pdf format, and having the dictionary working for that format is critical, a deal-breaker.
@Pepoo001 I’m in the same situation now that you were 2 months ago. Which one did you end up getting?
Until they expand their library to include something a little more important than weekend readings I find this device useless. Its a shame both the Kindle and Sony e-readers have no Dover Math Books and the few physics books they do have are useless to an actual physicist. I could upload pdf copies of my current books, but I’m sure pdf files do not have the same features and capabilities as an actual e-book purchased from their website.
@Pepoo001 I’ll go for the PRS-600. I also am not situated in the US and so the wireless internet function would be rendered obsolete once it is ship in my country. I’m really not that rich to waste almost a $100 difference for some 3G I won’t even have the opportunity of using.
@kristarellano Download Calibre, a free program that can convert any ebook formats. It can only convert ebooks that don’t have any DRM though.
@MobileTechReview Sorry if the question sounds stupid, but how do you do that? Is there any program that allows you to convert from .lit to epub? Thank you.
@eriksnoopy1 No, but you can convert them to epub if they don’t have DRM.
Can I read .lit files on it?
Hey nice video u should check my channel out
Think I’m going to buy PRS-600 or PRS-900. Which one is the best?
(I don’t live in US, so I can’t use the 3G :/)
yup
I’d like to buy one but price is too fuckin’ high, and in recession…
Really nice product, but I can see this product selling at like £350+ and way expensive. I still want a ebook, but waiting for cheaper price.
i’m interested in how the screen doesn’t need to completely black out to do the zoom function but seems to need to for any other screen change. anyone? this happens at 8:23
Can you highlight and annotate the documents like you can a book once they are in the e-reader?
Yes, you can. You have to use Sony desktop software to load them. Read our full review on MobileTechReview for more info on this. We covered all these in the review. Good luck!
I have a lot of word documents and several books that I have saved as word documents. Does anyone know if I can down load these onto the sony reader and read them? How does this work? Are they converted or something?
Any help is appreciated.
I have the larger Kindle from Amazon, which I got as a birthday gift from my wife. The Kindle is a good product, but it’s so large in size that it’s not as portable (you basically need a backpack just to carry it around). I’ll check out this Sony Reader at BestBuy.
@rasriders
Haha, what a goof, this is an e-book, meaning it’s made to simulate the pages of a paper book. Back-lit LED makes the eyes tired after a long reading. Also, the eReader’s battery lasts 2 weeks.
i have bough 4 years before PRS 500 it is so excellent, so far i have upgraded only the filmware 2twise, and runs very smooth.
dude thats not an lcd there is actual magnitized ink inside of the screen so every time you change screens the ink has to be magnetized into a different position the effect is to make the screen look like book paper
