Bookeen Cybook Gen3 review

Like Coronation Street, books have remained remarkably untouched by modern technology. There's been a spate of ebook readers recently, however, so perhaps the humble book is ready for a 21st century upgrade. French company Bookeen certainly thinks so with this, the third generation of its Cybook 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

Sony Reader PRS-505 review

Sony's newly released Reader PRS-505 trumps the competiting ebook readers, if you ask us. Its design is more attractive and it's significantly cheaper than its rivals. It's also rather pleasant to use, with a 600x800-pixel resolution e-ink display that simply doesn't feel like a screen Read more

iRex iLiad review

The iRex iLiad has the best screen we've seen on an ebook reader -- it's made using E Ink technology, which doesn't flicker and doesn't use a backlight. It also has built-in Wi-Fi. But is that enough to make us burn our paperbacks? Read more

Dispensing with bells and whistles, the Reader Pocket Edition PRS-300 ebook reader does one job and does it well. It's extremely easy to read text on its e-ink display, it's attractive and pocketable, and it's very simple to use. Overall, we think it's the best ebook reader currently on the UK market Read more

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

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

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

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
