more info from Sony

The Sony Reader Touch Edition (Red) is a svelte 6 inch touchscreen digital reading system that holds up to 350 books at once; and even more when the expansion card slots are utilized. Page turning is a breeze with the touch of your finger and highlighting and annotation is made simple with the included stylus. You'll also benefit from the easy-to-read E Ink Vizplex screen technology which looks more like a paper display and is readable even in direct sunlight.

A single charge powers the Reader for up to 7,500 page turns (BBeB Book). When it's time to recharge or transfer eBooks, the included USB 2.0 cable allows for both. Formats supported by the Reader Touch Edition include the industry standard formats of ePub and PDF. Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word, and Adobe Digital Editions are all also compatible. The Reader also supports unsecured MP3 and AAC audio files for playback.

Other features include a built-in Oxford American English Dictionary, adjustable font sizes, and quick page turning for reading at a natural pace. And last but not least, Mac and PC compatibility make the Reader a solid choice for anyone looking to build a digital library that can go anywhere they go.

• Carry Hundreds of Books: Not sure which books to bring on your trip?
