Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-650 hands-on

The 6-inch touchscreen-sporting Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-650 gives you everything you could want from an ebook reader. If you're not bothered about music or expandable memory, its smaller sibling -- the Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350 -- is a more attractive proposition. Read more

ViewSonic VEB612 review

The VEB612 ebook reader is attractively styled, sufficiently compact so that it's comfortable to hold, and light enough so that it won't push you over the hand-luggage limit when you're off on holiday. Its software could be better, but there are far worse ways to read a digital book Read more

iriver Story review

The Story is packed with features, such as its voice-recording capability and Qwerty keyboard, but many potential purchasers of an ebook reader are likely to find them irrelevant. Fortunately, its lengthy battery life, clear screen and excellent file-format support mean this Story has a happy ending Read more

Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-600 review

The Reader Touch Edition PRS-600 is a decent ebook reader with some intriguing capabilities, such as its touchscreen, which not only lets you turn pages with a swipe of a finger but also allows you to make annotations. It's not as simple to use as Amazon's Kindle, but it offers much more freedom when it comes to finding books Read more

Amazon Kindle (international version) review

Finally available in the UK, the Kindle ebook reader is a smashing piece of kit. Its e-ink display closely resembles a printed page and poses little risk of eyestrain, it's undeniably well-designed, and it couldn't be easier to download ebooks. Amazon's digital bookstore could do with some work, though Read more

Elonex eBook review

Dispensing with the gimmickry of pretending it's also an MP3 player, the Elonex eBook boasts a sharp, crisp e-ink display and stylish, lightweight design. But, with the Amazon Kindle expected to alight on these shores before too long, is the eBook a worthwhile investment? Read more

Interead Cool-er review

The Cool-er ebook reader from UK start-up Interead isn't the speediest device of its type that we've ever seen, but it does offer a great e-ink display that's on a par with the printed page for readability. Transferring books, pictures and MP3 files onto it is also easy, and it supports a wide range of formats Read more

Endless Ideas BeBook review

Relatively compact and lightweight, the BeBook has an excellent screen that's almost as easy on the eye as a real book. A plasticky design and sluggish menu system don't do the device any favours, but compensation comes in the form of exceptional battery life, and good font and file-format support Read more
