Despite the rush of tablets on the market since the iPad, the little sister of tablet computing; the E-reader is going strong. The Kindle has established itself as a household name and is the darling of students, academics and book-lovers across the globe who appreciate the lightened load of a library full of books to a slab of plastic.
The Android running Nook is another E-reader that most people have heard of. But you may not know that before the two big players emerged Sony already had their hands in the E-reader market. But unfortunately for them, nobody has heard of a Sony E-reader.
But could that all change? Sony has decided to up their game and establish themselves as a leading company in the E-reader market. According to rumours, two brand new Sony eReaders could be released in August.
Apparently the eReaders will come in two separate models with prices set at $180 (£112) and $300 (£186) Both will come with new Sony software, WiFi.
But will Sony bring enough to the table to scare the dominant Kindle?
