I bought the Sony Reader because I could check out ebooks from the library with it. It was also a very low-cost reader, and I wanted to have one so I could answer questions for my library patrons. The Sony Reader has become an appreciated companion on trips because I can load lots of reading on there. It will not replace books -- some just aren't available for lending and I've no interest in buying/renting a lot of books, but it's a terrific alternative.

The Sony Reader 300 is just what I needed; nothing more, nothing less. Simple, super fast uploads from pc, easy to read and fast enough page turns. And the special Walmart bundle, cover with light and ac adapter made it even better! I am very pleased.

Love my new e-reader. Our county library system loans a wide variety of free e-books for up to 3 weeks each that can be downloaded from my computer at home or their computers at the library. I am enjoying many hours of reading at home, and will travel light with my books loaded on this compact e-reader. Easy to use and comfortable to hold with its soft leather-like cover. Pure joy!

Pros: Easy to read, you forget your reading on an electronic, privacy when you're reading a book (like avoiding risque covers on romance novels), saves bookmarks BEAUTIFULLY. Best thing I've bought in years. Cons: Slow charging via usb (don't know about with a/c adaptor), freezes when accessing books after being turned on (easily remedied by pushing the reset button) That's really it. Not many bells and whistles, but does the job PERFECTLY. I love my reader. I have finished a book a day on it. Which is why I bought it in the first place, so I can get ebooks from the library and not worry about having millions of books laying everywhere or having to return them.
