This week Sony released two models of digital readers, the PRS-300 and 600, known as the Pocket and the Touch. The Touch is their 6-inch touch screen that is replacing their PRS-700. The model features a Memory Stick/Duo and SD card slot, a stylus and digitized copy of the Oxford American English Dictionary. The Pocket is your standard digital reader, with all of the functions and features you are accustomed to. Both models have a USB 2.0, and 512MB internal memory. And though you can get them in colors such as red, silver, blue, rose and black, you can't get them right now with Wi-Fi. That could be a big deal breaker. Sony is working on producing a model with Wi-Fi but for now users will have to let the Mac compatibility be their happy point. To help keep it competivie with the Amazon Kindle, the Touch and Pocket will be available by the end of August and will retail for $299 and $199. They also have dropped the prices of its bestsellers from $11.99 to $9.99.
