Going on holiday, travelling or simply just commuting? Don’t know which book you should take to read? Can’t take more than one due to weight and size restrictions?

Sony has pushed the boundaries again with design, technology and usability. They created the market for portable music when they introduced the Sony Walkman that played tapes.

They are now doing the same with books. Like their original Walkman and your favourite music, you can store all your favourite books and carry them with you, wherever you go. It holds up to 160 eBooks, expandable to 13,000 books with additional memory.

It is thinner than most paper backs at 8mm thick yet it can hold up to 160 eBooks. The eInk® screen is easy to read in direct sunlight with its 15cm high resolution multi-shade grey scale giving clear visibility, just like a paper back book.

A single charge of the battery lasts up to 7,500 page turns, so it is a very practical solution for long reads.
