Wednesday, September 1st, 2010
Sony Corp. (NYSE:SNE) has launched three new e-book readers to compete with Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPad and Amazon.com, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Kindle.
Sony’s three new e-readers will only be available in the US. The Pocket Edition is equipped with a 5-inch screen with a display much like the Kindle, and is priced at $179.99.
The Touch Edition has a 6-inch screen, a higher display and memory card slots, and is priced at $229.99. The Daily Edition allows users to download books via Wi-Fi and the AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) 3G phone network, reports the Telegraph. The Daily Edition also boasts a slimmer frame, upped battery life and more storage at the price of $299.99.
Steve Haber, president of Sony’s digital reading unit said, “Lowering prices to get cheaper and cheaper is not our direction, Our plan is not to race to the bottom.”
The Kindle 3G costs about $189 and a 16GB Wi-Fi iPad costs $499.

The Amazon Kindle and the iPad from Apple – which one is the best?
Tech companies are aiming to bridge the gap between smartphones and laptops by offering new tablets, e-readers and netbooks. The AP’s Haven Daley reports from the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. (Jan. 7)
I spent twenty minutes with the Barnes & Noble Nook today, and loved it. To my surprise, when I got home I found out a brand new Nook is coming, actually two of them. There will be a Nook Lite (without 3G – basically WiFi only), and a Nook 2 (Project Encore at this time). I just hope they don’t screw it up, because in it’s present generation, I love it. Some may compare it to the Kindle. I don’t like the Kindle, because you cannot side load other format books (i.e. epub books).
