Sony’s PRS-700 Reader Adds Touchscreen, Frontlight

9:18AM October 3, 2008 | John Mahoney

Sony brought out a new Reader tonight in NYC that adds a six-inch touch screen to the E-ink reader, as well as slimming down the case and adding a built-in frontlight. With the touchscreen readers can enter text with a stylus on a full-screen QWERTY for searching, adding notes and annotations to book marks, or just flipping the page with a stylus or finger swipe. It’ll hit at the end of October for around $US400. Hit the jump for more impressions.

    I read your comments re teh PRS 505 and how you aquired it. Have you any idea whether this will be for sale here in Australia?

    I just want to know if the PRS-700 will be available in South Africa and if it can be used to upload medical textbooks? Thanks
