I LOVE my new Sony Reader! I purchased one for my mom for Christmas and she had nothing but good things to say about it so I made sure to get one for myself! I was too excited to read the directions before using it, and I was able to figure it out rather quickly on my own. The screen is amazing - easy to read with no glare. I also use it with a book light at night. My only suggestion is to get the AC charger along with it, as I have been using that instead of plugging it in to the computer to charge it. I was hoping with the new Kindle out that the price would be a little lower - but no such luck......maybe it'll go down next year.

I purchased the e-reader because my family loves to reader but we are very limited on space. I love to reread books so throwing books away or letting others borrow them was not a option. The e-reader was the best chose because I can reread as much as I like, saved on space to store books and I have I library that doesn't stop. The value of the e-reader is worth it. You recieve the e-reader with a couple of small book titles to sample then you can(after downloading the CD link), can go to sony ebook library with the latest titles and can purchase with in minutes you are reading. Plus the reader is the easiest to operate even for someone like myself that is electric challenged. Overall, if you love to read, travel, spend time for yourself, or want the coolest piece of sony hardware then you have got to get this. Have FUN reading!!!!!!!!

I have had my reader for a month now and can't imagine life without it. I can download ebooks from my local library which is saving me a fortune. Also no need to return the books on time so no late fees either. I agree with other people the case that comes with the reader is more than adequate, no need for the pricey leather cover. I have not noticed any glare and everyone I have shown it too has been impressed!

Compact convenient size. Excellent battery life. I also purchased the case with the light in it and while it adds a substantial amount of weight, I think it is worth the trade-off for the convenience it provides. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that likes to read.

Excellent product. I wish it was cheaper, somewhere around $200, but otherwise it is very elegant and useful. I have put in all books I wanted so far. Drawbacks: You have to carefully convert files to pdf to have all useful information about a writer and a book name, if you do not use Sony books. Took me some time to figure out.
