Sony electronic reader is by far the most aestheticallly eye-catching of the best ebook readers. Sony of course, has always produced attractive pieces of machinery and Sony electronic reader is no exception.

Firstly it's different to the Kindle as Sony has included a touch screen interface. iPhone users in particular will appreciate this attribute. It's just as effortless and enjoyable to use. I can simply run a finger across the screen to switch the page, or alternatively run and hold my finger to quickly move through several pages at a time. I can also simply tap twice on a specific word to look it up in the dictionary already installed on my Sony electronic reader. If I want to make or erase a bookmark I simply tap two times the page. And no the screen doesn't get cloudy with fingerprints!

The Sony electronic reader doesn't just win the e-reader beauty contest. Again it's dissimiliar to Kindle as the Sony electronic reader can directly read multiple formats. It recognises BBeB (LRF/LRX), PDF, ePUB, TEXT and RTF. With the Sony electronic reader the hassle of having to convert a PDF file for example, is eliminated. The touch screen lets me zoom in and out without disturbing the PDF outline and I can add my own footnotes.

Unlike some other ebook producers, the Sony electronic reader allows users to take ebooks out on loan from online libraries. Its desktop software includes a digital library search option and built-in support for ePUB as libraries with e-content lending facilities use ePUB format. Sony electronic reader even returns your e-content automatically so there's no possibility of you losing the e-book or forgetting to return it on time!

I can also record annotations on my Sony electronic reader touch screen with the simple movement of a finger or a stylus which is fantastic because I'm always without a pen and a piece of scrap paper just when I ought to make a mention of something! Plus the keyboard on the touch screen is also large enough to simply type.

Whilst the Sony electronic reader doesn't have a wireless connection to immediately download e-titles, it does include a USB cable to move downloaded content from your laptop. I haven't found the lack of wireless technology to be a setback. I'm constantly on my computer so it takes very little effort to move content. The Sony electronic reader also includes a plug for SD cards so you can stockpile e-books on a mixture of devices.

So yes, I believe my Sony electronic reader to be the best choice for me. It isn't just an eye-catching small piece of futuristic technology, it's also totally purposeful with extra note-taking abilities and numerous format native support.
