An eBook reader doesn’t have to replace a traditional book - it’s just a new way of enjoying reading. With the new Sony Reader you can carry far more books with you wherever you go, so whatever mood takes you you’ll have an electronic book that fits it. And using the Sony Reader couldn’t be simpler:

1. Easy connection – install the supplied software on your computer, connect your eBook reader with the cable provided and voila! Create and manage a library on your PC and transfer eBooks to your book reader exactly like music for your MP3 player.
   
   
2. Add new books from Waterstone’s – choose from thousands of titles available from waterstones.com the online store of Britain's best-loved bookseller. Simply buy and download to your PC library and transfer to your Sony Reader.
   
   
3. Store up to 160 books – add and update your Sony Reader with classics, bestsellers, biographies, whatever takes your fancy. If you’re a real bookworm you can store thousands more electronic books using a Sony Memory Stick Duo™ or SD memory card.
   
   
4. Bookmark and magnify at a touch – quickly enlarge text or mark a memorable passage. Your book reader will also remember where you last left off – even if you don’t.
   
   
5. Read on the go – the Sony Reader is slim and light so you can take it with you wherever you go and the long battery life means you can enjoy nearly 7000 page turns of an electronic book without recharging – that’s like reading War and Peace five times over.
