The reader is mostly wonderful; its computer software is frustrating but you don't need it anyway, November 15, 2011

I had a rough honeymoon with this new ereader, but ultimately I've come to love it when I'm using it for its most important purpose, reading. The touch screen is very sensitive, it's beautiful and light weight, there are multiple fonts and text sizes to choose from, and the wifi feature, especially the ability to connect directly with my local libraries to borrow books, is a mostly wonderful option.Maybe because this reader can do so many things, it's more finicky than my Sony 350 which is a generation older than the PRS-T1. I have never had my 350 freeze, but in the short time that I've had the PRS-T1 I've had to reset it 4 times. Usually it has happened when I'm flicking the "pages", something that works perfectly most of the time, which somehow sets off wild unstoppable page turning ultimately freezing the device.If you are used to earlier Sony readers, this one requires a tap, tap-hold-for-2-seconds instead of a quick double tap to highlight or call up...

Great e-reader, October 30, 2011

This review is from: Sony PRS-T1 Pearl Red 6" eBook Reader with Wi-Fi (Electronics)
Bought this e-reader 3 days ago and have found it to be everything I needed very clear screen wi-fi easy to set up, using the browser isn't that great not very clear but I didn't buy it to surf the web mp3 nice and clear sound.When loading books make sure your tags are correct to make it easier to keeps books in order.Pages turn nicely,also bought the book cover with light works well but havn't really needed it.Very light to hold and books converted from PDF and mobi to the epub format works very well using softare called Calibre which is a free e-book management programme.I like the buttons too at the bottom of the e-reader so you can choose what to turn your pages with,best of both worlds.
