Today marks exactly one month since I bought my second eReader, a Sony PRS-T2 which from the first moment I considered too expensive and which a few days later I began to think was even cheap and which today I consider a real gem at a "ridiculous price".
Okay, I'm sure many of you will call me an inconsiderate millionaire or just plain stupid, but if you stop to think about it, and if you really enjoy reading and are able to get the most out of this device, its price ends up being just a minor detail.
Returning to my article, because although it may not seem like it, I haven't come here to assess whether it was worth spending the money on the Sony device or not, but to share my experience and personal opinion.
Before deciding to buy the Sony PRS-T2, I tested many devices, read hundreds of comparisons, information, and articles all over the internet, and I certainly think I made the right choice in opting for this device, especially after reading in this same corner about the number of problems that the other device I finally considered buying along with the PRS-T2 is having; I'm talking, as you can imagine, about the BQ Cervantes Touch Light.
Among the positive points that I have found in this device I could highlight:
- Battery duration. I have had the device for exactly a month and using it daily I have not yet had to charge the battery which is undoubtedly something extraordinary
- Reader speed. Except for startup, the page turning speed and the other functions that can be carried out with the eReader are extremely fast
- Format compatibility. Undoubtedly this point for me was an urgent need that the Sony PRS-T2 has managed to cover with an excellent note and that is that I can read PDF or EPUB files without problem or difficulty
- Ease of use. For all those who say, especially people of advanced age, that they will not abandon their traditional books for an electronic book because of the difficulty in handling it, they are very wrong. It is possibly the easiest and simplest device of this type to handle
How could it be otherwise in this month I have also discovered some negative points but that in no case cloud my general opinion about this device:
- Unable to extract the notes. Notes can be taken on each word or phrase in a book but cannot be extracted, for example to the computer, which is undoubtedly a negative point
- Exterior design. I chose a black Sony PRS-T2 for being serious and in principle clean, but every time I put a finger on the exterior trim my fingerprint stays on it, making the exterior of the device "a bit ugly".
Without a doubt, after much deliberation, countless hours of searching, and reading information and opinions, I sincerely believe I made the right choice in purchasing a Sony PRS-T2. So much so that if someone offered me a trade for any other device right now, fully refunding the price I paid for the Sony device and not charging me a single euro for the new one, I would decline without hesitation.
What has been your experience and rating of the eReader that the Three Kings or Santa Claus gave you?
