A New Sony Reader Soon to Be Announced?

One release held close to the vest is news about the Sony Reader.  Apparently there is a Sony Reader event to take place on October 2, which something new will be announced. It could be a larger Sony Reader.  It could be a new design.  Or it could be a Sony Reader with wireless capabilities.  Who knows but it looks like waiting until October to buy a new reader makes some sense.

   by Shreela September 10th, 2008 at 8:35 am As much as this blog posts about book reading hardware (and a few other sites almost as popular as this one), you’d think manufacturers would offer book readers via a contest. Especially since they’re advancing so quickly that older readers become obsolete very fast. They should dump their obsolete readers in blog contests, then tease us with the new improvements to get us to want to buy more features. Reply

    by Miki September 11th, 2008 at 7:13 pm Could be they’ll offer a trade-in? That would be nice. I do love my Sony PRS Did you know they’re offering a trade-in now, if you’re using a PRS-500 and want the brighter, faster, Adobe Digital Editions reading PRS-505? If you buy the reader from a SonyStyle Store, they’re supposed to give you $100 off if your new purchase. You can also do it online via SonyStyle.com – which is where I read the details of the deal. Of course, it would be a drag if you go through all that…and then there’s a PRS-510 available next month! Reply
