SONY E-Reader
Based on Sony's earlier 6" e-reader, this device is smaller (8.9mm thin) and lighter (at 168 grams) than it. Sony stated, "At under 6 ounces and with a 6" E-Ink Pearl V220 touch screen, Reader Wi-Fi is smaller than an average paperback book. As part of Sony's continued effort to support the Public Library System, Reader Wi-Fi will also be the first eReader to offer wireless connectivity to the public library system in the US and Canada via a dedicated icon on the device to allow easy and convenient borrowing of free e-books with a valid library card. Readers can access and download over 2.5 million titles via a Wi-Fi connection from Reader Store or shop from a wide range of bookstores and other websites that provide books in digital formats compatible with Reader Wi-Fi, such as EPUB, PDF and TXT."
An extra version of the e-reader has been developed specially for Harry Potter fans jointly with the #-Link-Snipped-# website. Fans who buy the Sony Reader Wi-Fi with Pottermore promotion (PRS-T1HBC) will be able to download the first Harry Potter e-book for free from the Pottermore website whenever it becomes available. E-reader maker Kobo too was at the IFA to set up an e-reader for the German market. The locally oriented German Touch eReader adds up all-German menus and settings and will be available from October 1, 2011 starting for just €149 . The Sony Reader Wi-Fi (PRS-T1) and Reader Wi-Fi with Pottermore promotion (PRS-T1HBC) too will be released in October 2011 with a price tag of  $149.
