Sony turns the page for two new eBook Readers

I've been keeping my eye on the electronic book market, waiting my moment to pounce on an e-Reader. Well, Sony UK has announced two new variables to the eBook equation: they have the Reader Pocket Edition (pictured) and the Reader Touch Edition.

Both use the E Ink Vizplex electronic paper display technology, and run Sony's eBook Library software 3.0 (with support for Apple Macintosh as well as PCs, supporting Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word, BBeB files, or other text file formats on the Reader).

"We now have the most accessible devices on the market and our goal is to get these devices into the hands of as many people as possible, enabling them to read the content they want, when they want it - whether they buy it, borrow it, or get it for free," claimed Omar Gurnah, category manager for Reader for Sony UK.

In terms of availability, you can pre-order them from sony.co.uk and Sony Centres. There is no word on pricing. More information from the Sony eBook reader website. More news when we get it.
