While the PRS-T1 didn’t introduce any major technical innovations compared to its predecessor, the PRS-650, the switch to Android did bring some nice improvements. A huge plus for many tech enthusiasts was the ability to root the device and thus gain access to all the operating system’s functions. The PRS-T2 also allowed this option (at least until firmware version 1.0.05.12140), but the latest Sony eBook Reader was denied root access. […]
The Sony PRS-T3 or PRS-T3S is undoubtedly a great eBook reader. In our test, the device earned a good rating of 1.7. The eReader stands out particularly for its compact casing and excellent build quality, and it features the now rare use of an infrared touchscreen, which ensures that the E-Ink screen delivers the best possible image quality without any interference.

Reportedly, the campaign was a success, which was to be expected given the market conditions at the time. This year, Libri and Tchibo want to continue their collaboration and build on last year’s success, with a nod to […]
At the moment, there is no concrete information about the next Sony eBook Reader, but it can be assumed that the Japanese electronics company is already preparing the next model (let’s call it PRS-T3 for simplicity) for market launch.
