After being with the Sony PRS-505 e-book reader for a couple of months and testing it with different contents (books, articles, blogs)., the final conclusions are:- e-Ink tech is on his first steps;
- Color is a must have for our market (e-Ink is still B&W);
- Lack of interactivity is a big problem;
- Battery in the Sony reader is amazing (10 days in active mode)
- As a simple reader is very good, but don t ask for more. Very simple solutions could be created for this reader, but this is not our interest right now (iPhone solutions are).
- Music player integrated is awful (horrible sound quality)
- A technology to allow reformatting texts is needed (so you are allowed to increase text size).
- iREX should be my next Laboratory Toy.
