E-Reader Rebuttals

Shooting Back at the Kindle With the Sony Touch and Pocket

The Kindle fire won’t burn out quite, yet but the new Sony Reader Touch and Pocket are trying to oust the flames.

The Sony Reader Touch and Pocket is an upgraded replacement of the previous touchscreen model which has removed the reading light for better use of the interface. The Sony Reader Touch and Pocket is a much more compact and easily transportable device that comes with a 5-inch screen and an additional dictionary/card slot.

The Sony Reader Touch and Pocket both look like formidable competitors, but they lack a wireless connection which could hurt them in the end. You decide!
