At the CES convention in 2006, Sony announced the Reader, an ebook reader for the U.S. market. It uses an electronic paper display developed by E-Ink, that has a 170 pixels per inch resolution and four levels of greyscale. Garnered from the following reviews and news stories, the device will cost $349, will use an iTunes Music Store-like interface to purchase books from Sony's Connect eBook store, and will supposedly support PDF files natively. Unlike its close cousin, the LIBRIé, the Sony Reader offers no way for the user to annotate a digital book due to lack of a keyboard.
There is no information at this time regarding the digital rights management features of the Reader, specifically whether the LIBRIé's 60 day limit on rented books will be implemented.
The Reader was planned for release in March 2006 at the January 2006 announcement. The Reader now said to be "Available Late Summer 2006" It should be competing with the [http://www.irextechnologies.com/home.htm Irex iLiad reader, the Jinke Hanlin Reader and other epaper-based devices to be released soon.
