My new toy...

This week I treated myself to a pink Sony pocket e-reader. I feel oh so guilty since I will be pre-ordering the ipad on Monday, but I have justifiable reasons for getting this too, honest!



For starters the e-ink screen is really friendly on my eyes, and that's a biggie for me. It really does work very well and relies on natural light to show the text up, as a normal page would.



It's super lightweight, thin and portable, so it can be sneaked into my bag to be read during the day when I get a quiet moment at work.



Battery life is also pretty fantastic. Sony claim that the battery will last for 2 weeks, or 6800 page turns.

All in all I'm pretty happy with my purchase, even if it's a sinful one. And yay for the pink!

  2. So was I until this month and then I go and buy two things at once. I'm feeling awfully guilty :(

  3. I have a Kindle and I agree about reading on that as compared to the IPad. There are so many other uses for the IPad though it's still a useful purchase.

    As much as I like reading on my kindle, I still read books too. Seems redundant but I get books from swap meets or library sales or from friends. So I don't spend an arm and a leg. I buy newer books on my kindle. Enjoy your new prezzie!
