Sony Prs-T1 - Ebook Reader - Red

klein und handlich. Die Tasten sind sehr gut zu bedienen, und die Wischfunktion liebe ich noch mehr. Inzwischen lese ich fast lieber mit dem Reader als mit dem Kindle, den ich auch habe. Aber ich wollte bei meinem Bucheinkauf einfach unabhängig sein und auch die Möglichkeit haben, Bücher aus öffentlichen Büchereien auszuleihen. Schade ist allerdings, dass sich Sony entschieden hat, das Mikrophon nicht mehr einzubauen. So kann man keine Hörbücher damit hören (was man beim Kindle dagegen tun kann. Ich habe mir das Gerät ohne die Hülle bestellt, weil ich das das gesonderte Case kaufen wollte. Das beurteile ich noch getrennt - davon bin ich erst recht begeistert!

After a long search for opinions and reviews on line I decided to buy this model of ereader. Great buy, I think it's the best one! Reading is very comfortable with the e-ink pearl and over all has a micro-sd slot so you can fill it with books and music (it's also an mp3 reader so you can read and listen your favourite music at the same time) without using the memory installed (so the reader is faster when you use it for surfing the net - it's not a tablet so don't expect a great surfing but surely it's good for emailing or reading the last news). I thought I would use it only on travel but now it has become my daily reading mate. I love paper books but this is future (and more ecological, also). It's like getting an ipod after listening music only with LP and record player: LP is better but, well, don't touch my mp3 player; right now, I love books but, hey, don't touch my PRS-T1!!! Equaqui

Prodotto di ottima qualità ad un prezzo molto conveniente,anche la spedizione è stata rapidissima,lo consiglio,ho trovato tutto estremamente molto conveniente

wenn man vorher mit Tablett PC's gearbeitet hat. Aber Bücher speichert er reichlich, nur ist es Schade das es kein Update von Sony gibt um alle Buchformate darauf lesen zu können. Und er ist schön leicht und lässt sich gut blättern. Bis auf die fehlende Möglichkeit alle ebookformate lesen zu können toll

I'll preface this review by saying my very first ereader purchase was a Kindle Touch, which I really enjoy. I have been intrigued by the Sony for a variety of reasons, which I'll get into below. First, you can never go wrong with color choice. Choice is always a good thing, and I really enjoy the red color of this reader. It does have a bit of glare, which the Kindle does not suffer from, but it's better once the reader is in a cover or case. Here's a quick comparison: Sony: It's lighter and has physical page turn buttons, which I actually like. It has more dictionaries, which I haven't used, but the coolest thing is that when you highlight a word to look up, you also have the option to use google or wikipedia. I've come across a few words which weren't defined by the chosen dictionary, and it was truly handy to google the word. Borrowing from the library directly from the reader is a breeze, although it takes patience. It's not particularly fast in its web browsing, but it does alleviate the need for a computer. That being said, I normally just download the borrowed book via my PC and transfer it to the reader. I also like how when the reader is in standby, you see an image of the book you are reading instead of an ad-based screen from Amazon. But this truly is a minor detail, because I've actually used a few of the 'special offers' from Amazon. The Sony reads epub and not mobi, but this isn't an issue for those of us who use Calibre and can convert easily. The Sony is reflective, but when in a cover it's not that terrible. The kindle clearly wins here, in my opinion, as there is no reflection at all from the kindle. However, I love the red color of my Sony and color choice is always good. Kindle: It's heavier but as far as touch-screen page turns, I find it to be quite easy to use. I'm not one of the ones who seem to have issues with a too-sensitive screen. It's tied to the Amazon kindle store so when you purchase a book, it uses whispernet to wirelessly download the book automatically (next time the kindle is powered on.) The special offers are at times very good deals, I've gotten a few 99¢ books this way, and a discount on a cover. Putting the books into collections is quite the ordeal and I have yet to find an easy, efficient way to do it. And if you don't do it, you'll end up with pages upon pages to scroll through on your home screen. As far as reading, they are both really great. The font selection on the Sony is quite a bit better, but I can easily find a font I like on the kindle. I have found that Amazon usually always has better pricing on books. And always tons of free books. I hope this has been helpful to you. My decision to keep both really came down to the fact that I really do love both of them, and I've justified it to myself (logic notwithstanding) that although I can convert mobi to epub and back all day, wouldn't it be IDEAL to have a reader that reads both formats?
