| The Bottom Line | While the PRS-505 Reader Digital Book is not without flaws, Sony's improvements make this model easier to recommend. | With its free built-in wireless capabilities and PC-free operation, Amazon's Kindle holds a distinct advantage over Sony's Reader and is a promising evolution of the electronic book--but Amazon needs to bring down the pricing for both the device and the content to attract a wider audience. | Though the Sony PRS-500 Portable Reader System is an impressive platform for reading e-books and other documents, the price and availability of compatible "books" makes it a tougher sell. | While the PRS-505 Reader Digital Book is not without flaws, Sony's improvements make this model easier to recommend. | RCA's color REB1200 offers an elegant design, but it's just too expensive and limited in its usefulness for us to recommend it. |
