Sony new readers revealed

Several days ago, we expected the new readers from Sony, the PRS-300 and PRS-600. Now they are officially announced by Sony, at the price of $200 and $300, respectively. Sony also gives these two devices with more friendly (or boastful) names: Sony Reader Pocket (PRS-300) and Sony Reader Touch (PRS-600).

The PRS-300 is so far the cheapest e-book reader device on the market. It is equipped with a moderate 5 inch screen, and can be easily fit into a (large) pocket. In an attempt to rival the Amazon Kindle, Sony claims that it will introduce the $9.99 new releases and best sellers for Sony readers. Wireless connection feature, however, is still absent on these two new models, and Sony says it is still under development.
