Providing more than just a superior reading experience, the Reader Touch Edition, supports Adobe® PDF5, Microsoft® Word, BBeB Book® and other text file formats, as well as EPUB/ACS4 and connection with Adobe Digital Editions. In addition to being PC and Mac® compatible, you can even play back unsecured MP3 and AAC audio files.

I love it

It's so easy to use. Easy to download books through adobe digital editions if you can't find what you want from the Sony bookstore. I download books from Borders gift cards I receive from family members and you can even borrow books from the library. The screen is easy to see but you'll need a light at night. I also love being able to listen to music while I'm reading. It's a great thing to own.

nice!

really good e-reader, only cons are that it loads kind of slow when you have a few thousand books loaded on it, I believe that with 600 plus books it took around 45 min to load them all from the sd card, but i put a 32gb sd and 32gb pro-duo in it and it has all the books it will ever need

great for weak eyes

This eBook is great for people who have poor eyesight as the large and xl fonts are really easy to see. And it's the best for traveling - 10 books in one small package!

Great E-book reader

this is my first ebook reader, it is a verycute ebook reader, very nice desing. The software is totally useless, I recommend to use it with Calibre software,the screen is a little blurry because of its touchscreen features, however having a tochscreen is as an added bonus.

Very Good Product

This is my first eReader. I received it 3 weeks ago and have completed reading 5 books. It is a has a gery good feel and finish to it. The touch screen requires a little presure to flip pages which is good preventing accidental page turns. Very easy on the eyes and screen is paperbook size. Wish it had WiFi. Screen could be a bit more anti-glare. Overall a very good and useful product
