Cons Menu's don't change text size. Packaging is the kind we all dread to open. on September 22, 2009 by junk64  | Read full review

Cons Maybe another page turning button on the side of the device would be nice, but the device is compact enough that the 4 way rocker is easy to reach. on November 22, 2009 by steveinny1  | Read full review

Cons Font sizes could use some tweeking
Page turner could be on the sides for easy page turning. on April 20, 2010 by mykids72  | Read full review

Cons If the PDF was created from a scan the resizing does not work well and with images a disaster. Page turning becomes irritating with a 'flash" as in photo-plash like effect of some annoying commercials and makes the experience less than pleasant. on July 14, 2010 by numeroprime  | Read full review

Cons it doesn't do what it should - software again. There is obviously something wrong with the software, as the laptop works perfectly. on February 25, 2010 by doreron  | Read full review

Cons A major problem is you have to purchases though their store & there are NO discounts for most books. They are at the normal prices you would normally pay from a bookstore. One book I purchased was $4 more than the competitors. See for yourself! on February 2, 2010 by klingongoddess  | Read full review

Cons Often the books are 2x as expensive as Amazons and many times they don't have them at all. When I sent a note saying Half the Sky is $19.95 in the Sony Library and $9.95 on Amazon..including the paperback at borders. Sony did not care . on June 6, 2010 by Wise30327  | Read full review

Cons The battery life is terrible. I can't get many of the titles I want in Canada. Some publications I'd like to get are becoming available on Kindle and Kobo, but not the Sony E-Reader. These things are very frustrating. on October 3, 2011 by jmccarthy10  | Read full review
