Move Over Kindle: Sony Launching Cheap New eBook Readers
Posted in: amazon, kindle, sony, Today's Chili 
Sony is hitting back against the Kindle this week with the launch of two new eBook readers shipping at the end of the month. The most enticing part about the devices? The cheap price tag. The Reader Pocket Edition and Reader Touch Edition are priced at $199 and $299, respectively.
Both devices have 512MB of built-in memory, get roughly two weeks of battery life (roughly 7,500 page turns), and ship with a protective sleeve and USB. Neither are wireless, but both support the eBook Store from Sony, which has access to more than one million free public domain books courtesy of Google.
The Reader Pocket Edition has a 5-inch screen and comes in blue, rose, and silver. The Reader Touch Edition features a 6-inch touch screen and ports for Memory Stick PRO Duo and SD card media. It will come in red, black and silver.
