The Pocket Edition is slightly smaller than its predecessor, but is thus even better in your hand. On the switch to scroll to the side has been omitted, these are at the bottom in the "pad". The material from which the reader is made, is also different, but which I can not tell you what it really is now. But it is definitely "hand warmer" than the 505, which was basically cold. The Reader has again 3 font sizes, which is very pleasant even for eyeglass wearers, even the landscape can be adjusted. The display is crisp and sharp, unlike the touch screen editions (PRS-600). Where a film protects the screen, but provides thus for a slight blur or contrast poverty.
The Reader is a new Sony-Library software is supplied, the need to install not only beginners, but also Umsteiger necessarily, otherwise downloaded eBooks are not working. Only with the new software, you can register the device and load Adobe eBooks to the Reader. Installation is simple and takes place but in minutes.
Since this is already my 2nd Reader, I would recommend this device without restriction. As frequent readers will save me some books in the closet and a reader is taken up more easily than 4-5 novels. And people who previously had no contact with electronic books and have no fear of contact with PC and technology are allowed to keep quiet all the PRS-300 times at close range. For me he is no longer to be replaced by a real book.
