New Sony Reader PRS-700…Now With Touch Screen
Isn’t this the way it always works. Just when I finally broke down and bought myself an ebook reader (the Sony PRS-505), they go and announce an upgrade. And this one looks pretty slick. The new PRS-700 ebook reader from Sony is the first to feature a full touch screen, so you can come even closer to the real experience of reading a book…without actually reading a book. Instead of pressing a button, a quick swipe across the screen will turn the page. It comes with a stylus and on-screen keyboard, but is otherwise pretty similar looking to the PRS-505 (which I will be reviewing soon.)
The PRS-700 is expected to be available before the holiday shopping season gets into full swing for approximately $400.

Not even Sony would suggest that their online store matches Amazon. It’s silly to think otherwise. As far as wireless delivery, no one with a Kindle is jacking in their readers to load books. That would be a step backwards in current technology. On the touch screen front, it’s easy to wipe a cell phone touch screen on your sleeve or pants to wipe off the fingerprints, but doing so with a large book reader will not be easy. Are you going to carry a cleaning rag with you? You won’t want to touch your screen after a week of use. This will not be a Kindle killer.
