Full FeedSony Reader PRS-300, PRS-600 full specs revealed
Just last week we saw the user manuals for two yet-to-be-released Sony Readers hit the web, and now the complete specs have been revealed courtesy of J&R. Of course, J&R was also quick to remove those specs, however that did not stop an eagle eye blogger over at Sony Insider from getting a good look and passing on the details.
Assuming these are accurate, then Amazon will still have one thing going for itself with the Kindle—wireless connectivity. Otherwise, these new Readers, which are the PRS-300 and PRS-600 seem like they will be respectable additions to the Sony Reader lineup.
