Media scrutinise Sony Reader
The national press gets its teeth into the Sony Reader ahead of its launch through Waterstone's, online and Sony Centres on Thursday.
The Daily Mail claims the e-book reading device could spell "the end of the paperback". However, at the Daily Telegraph Marie Phillips, author of Gods Behaving Badly, argues that at £199, the Sony Reader is "really expensive and I don’t see what it adds".
Dan Sabbagh at the Times claims that some will find the device irresistible, despite the price. "It is a significant technological advance," he said.
