Now, in the first week of October, Sony's 'evolutionary' ebook reader is finally available in most American and Canadian electronic retail outlets. The Sony Reader is capable of storing as many as 80 ebooks at one time and has a battery life capable of turning 75,000 pages continually without stop, though it weighs just over 9 ounces, and is thiner than your average paperback. What makes the Reader really stand out from the competition is the screen, which uses new technology to produce a quality very similar to real, actual, good old fashioned paper. The unit was officially released in North America on the 27th of September, and launched simultaniously with a new online ebook store designed especially for Sony's product. Want one? Better start saving your pennies: at $350 dollars, it's as much as a 30GB iPod. And don't try buying one online 'due to overwhelming demand', new units won't ship until mid-November. Will the Reader really change the way we read? Stay tuned for a full-length editorial, coming soon to Teen eBooks.
