Sony is calling their new eBook reader the Daily Edition. As in, newspapers.
The Daily is at the high end of the price range at $400. More significantly, the Daily throws another punch in the match against the Kindle from Amazon, like the Kindle DX, although the Daily only has a 7inch screen, which doesn’t match up to the Kindles 9.7inch screen.
However, Sony added a 3G Modem to provide free 3G wireless connectivity to the Sony eBook Store. Users will be able to buy and download books, newspapers and magazines, with no monthly fees or charges for basic wireless connectivity, assuming they can get connected to the AT&T service. Sony is expecting to have other ways of access.
The highlight of the Daily is the introduction of a Library Finder application. Sony is working with a e-book distributor OverDrive and over thousands of libraries in the OverDrive network, users will be able to enter their ZIP codes into the application and download electronic books with a valid library card. At the end of the lending period, the books just vanish from the reader. Though book selection will most likely be limited.
Physically, the Daily — which won’t go on sale until later in the year — will have a display housed in an aluminum shell that can be read in either portrait or landscape mode. In portrait mode, about 30 to 35 lines of text will visible, making the experience very similar to that of a printed paperback book, Sony says.

I’ve been a Kindle owner since early Feb of 2008, and just received my Kindle 2 yesterday. I’m really enjoying all the helpful new features that have been added such as removing all switches from the back of the Kindle; allowing Whispernet to be turned on and off within the Kindle menu; the new joystick controller; the new way the dictionary works; the more booklike text presentation, and the ability to press alt shift and a number to change the line spacing. Now more than ever I forget I’m not reading a paper book because the electronic interface just disappears.
I’ve also discovered that Whispernet downloads quicker than on my K1, and the pages turn faster as well.
And last, but surely not least, the sleek beauty of my Kindle just makes me happy.
