Sony PRS 500 eBook Reader – When Sony developed their version of the portable reader they wanted you to take home a device that was capable of performing to your expectations, stylish and light weight. With that the product had to be able to offer ease of use, plenty of features and software capable of handling use by the avid reader, you. When you take on board the fact that this device only weighs a fraction under 9 ounces, you begin to wonder just where they put the bookshelf.
Having produced such a well developed reader in the Sony PRS 500 eBook Reader, the manufacturers had to make this device bigger than its size. It features a large screen, so no struggling to figure out what word is what even with your spectacles on. The memory is a nice 64 megabytes with the capacity to increase with the use of an SD Card or a memory stick and is USB as you would expect (lead included). It is also nice to know that it does support a wide range of text formats such as BBeB, BBeB DRM, TXT, RTF and PDF. There is also the image aspect of the device which supports JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP so you don’t have to be caught short in the format stakes like with some inferior readers that are currently being branded about.
You should be able to make those longer journeys before having to recharge the battery, which will last you a bit more than 4 hours if you are not fiddling about with all the features too much, which is more than the standard battery life. Let me break the battery life of the Sony PRS 500 eBook Reader down for you; this equates to a very useful 7000 and 7500 pages. The OS is Sony Reader Software which is very reliable, giving the device a nice slick speedy presence which is always nice as you don’t want to forget what you have been reading before the page is turned. This is an amazing little reader, one definite choice if you are looking for an affordable down-to-earth bit of gadgetry – so easy to use your Granny will love it too!
