The Sony Reader Daily Edition PRS-900BC

Posted on February 9, 2010

Sony has finally released their first wireless eBook reader known as the Daily Edition. Reviews have been mixed and the price is in between the Kindle 2 & DX but for some, Sony is the brand to own. I also like the 7" screen which to me hits the sweet spot between a Kindle 2 and DX. The Sony Daily Edition is also supports an industry standard ePub format (ePub eBooks available at many websites and sometimes at your local library) and has a replaceable battery. Sony is still not as strong as Amazon in their bookstore offerings, but you can purchase books at many other websites. If product quality is your main concern then this eReader may be the answer.

    I had to return my Sony Reader PRS900 after only 5 months. An area of the screen suddenly would not show text and it was right down the middle of the screen – as though someone took an eraser an ran it straight down the screen leaving streaks and blank space. Resets, soft and then hard, made no difference. Took it back to vendor and got full refund though (store credit). The price has dropped $150 so I’ll have that much left over after I purchase another one. Hope I have better luck with a new one.

      Hi David,

      Manufacturer defects do happen and it’s great you were able to return it and get a new one for a lot less. All of the best eReaders have had substantial price drops recently.
