Does Sony Have a Big Announcement Brewing For Aug. 25?
On Tuesday, Aug. 25, Sony is having a big press conference with the company's Reader team in NYC, which makes us think something special is going to be unveiled.
Maybe its next latest and greatest eBook reader, which is a step up from the PRS-505 Digital Book?
Summer eReading: Hotels Add Kindles, Sony Readers to Perks
Who's not a fan of the geeked-out hotel?
Of course, there are still a handful of tech-unfriendly hotels, but these hotels are not anywhere near that list: the Epic Hotel in Miami and the Gansevoort Hotels in New York City, Miami, and Turks & Caicos are offering their guests free use of Sony Readers and eBooks.
NYC's Algonquin Hotel has already been giving its hotel guests access to Kindles — and did I mention that at the Epic Hotel, you get poolside Sony Reader access?

Maker Faire: Sony Reader
I've been intrigued by the Sony Reader for ages, but hadn't actually tried one out until I visited the Sony booth at Maker Faire.
I was pleased to learn the Sony Reader is just as big, if not bigger than your average paperback, which means your eyes won't have to strain to look at the screen. I was also pleased to see how thin the reader is, and while I love the feeling of a nice paperback by the pool, I think I'd invest in a Reader to use when I am traveling.
Vintage Geek: Books
That's right folks, before there were electronic calculators, typewriters, computers, or even the Sony Reader PRS-500, people read from actual books. I know there are a handful of us out there that help keep the mom and pop bookstores and local libraries busy, but it is important to remember what your life might be like without technology. This video makes fun of modern newbie computer users by illustrating how silly some of our questions are by creating a similar problem 500 years ago.
Hide your horrible taste in books with a Sony Reader
Just when I thought I was going to have to spend the rest of my life awkwardly covering bookjackets so as not to expose my penchant for smutty chick lit, I found the ultimate aide to travel reading (and reputation keeping) - the Sony Reader PRS-500. It’s smaller and weighs less than most paperbacks, and can hold a month’s worth of romance novels. You can download books from eBookstores and easily transfer the files from your computer to the Reader or upload your Word docs for easy access to your work files.
