The Sony PRS-T1 Reader is being accompanied by a plastic shell which offers a nice grip. The quality of the display is impressive and is easy to read because of the good contrast provided by the E Ink Pearl Display. If you are wondering about the battery backup, then here is something you would love to hear. Sony promises that the battery can be stretched for a month or even more, but of course you have to compromise on your Wi-Fi access.

Talking of Wi-Fi, you will be able to access Sony’s own e-book store providing access to both free and paid e-books. Moreover, its role as an PDF reader is simply awesome. The stylus and the pinch-to-zoom features make it very comfortable to read. Moreover, the device comes with a memory of 2 GB, and can be extended to up to 32 GB via the micro SD card. So, you may have an completely portable library of you own.

The Sony PRS-T1 Reader is accompanied by the price tag of £130. Now, comparing this price tag to the other competitors in the market, we can say that the reader is slightly high priced compared to the Amazon’s basic Kindle. But, is the higher price worth? That is up to you to decide.
