You know how it is. You wait for ages and then three come along at once. No, not buses, but eBook readers. Following the groundbreaking Amazon Kindle and the Sony Reader Touch, comes the Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350.

Sony tries its hand at touchscreen tech and E-Readers. The result is a mighty strange device not without a few flaws.

Review : Sony Portable eBook Reader

Whenever I travel on the London Underground, I regular see fellow passengers reading books and newspapers or listening to various music player devices. There is even an occasional iPad being used. However it is extremely rare to see anybody using one of the <b>eBook</b> <b>reader</b>s that are currently available such as the topic of this next review.

The brilliant screen and user interface make this an ideal product to carry everywhere, but the Kindle's cheaper and has a wider range of new books available for it.
