The Touch edition is a new standard of eBook reader and offers more than just book reading. Using the supplied stylus and touch screen you can highlight and annotate text as you desire and then export using the supplied Mac or PC software for later use. In addition to the new touch features, there are now 512MB of memory on board, meaning you can load as many as 350 books into one convenient device. You’ll never have to reach for your dictionary again with the inbuilt dictionary support – offering fast and easy look-up of words as you read.

Sony Reader – Pocket edition £179.99

The Pocket edition is designed to be as portable as possible and despite using a smaller 5-inch eInk screen has the same resolution as all previous Sony Reader models making for a remarkably sharp reading experience. The lightest reader released to date, at 220 grams, it is still an improvement on previous models – with faster page-turns, support for Mac as well as PC, and an enlarged memory capable of holding up to 350 books.
