The Pocket version of the Reader has pretty much the same spec as the PRS-650 Touch Edition, except that its touch screen is a 5-inch rather than a 6-inch. The only difference comes in the fact that there's no memory card slot. You have to settle for the 2 GB internal memory. That's already enough to store hundreds of books though.
If its weight (155 grams) and size make the Pocket an ultra-mobile reader, we prefer the 6-inch for reading comfort and handling. The 6-inch also has a very mobile friendly design.
Pluses
-
Design / Slimline / Quality finish
-
High quality screen / Comfortable reading even in full sunlight
-
Good battery life
-
Interface is simple to use
-
More contrasted and responsive screen
Minuses
-
Screen too small for prolonged reading
-
No wireless connectivity: you need to download your e-books onto a computer first
-
No mains charger, just the proprietary Sony cable
The pocket verson of the Reader is certainly practical but less adapted to prolonged reading than the PRS-650. Like the 650, the Pocket has no wireless connectivity for downloads while you're on the road. Disappointing.
