Netbook News occasionally covers eReaders and when we saw this sleep little promo, we though it deserved a post. Sony has come out with the Reader, but it is more then just a eReader, it also comes with the the ability to look up words and phrases with the built-in Oxford Dictionary of English, as well as 10 translation dictionaries to and from English in French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch.

Wordsmiths can also now create “word logs” to track the words they’ve looked up in both chronological and book order while quickly switching between dictionaries.

The new Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350 sports a 5-inch, full touch screen, while the new Reader Touch Edition PRS-650 features a 6-inch full touch screen. Furthermore the Touch Edition offers expansion slots for up to 32GB of additional memory, enabling the storage of tens of thousands of ebooks and the ability to play MP3 and AAC audio files. It is available in black and silver.

With out any more fanfare here is the sleek little promo that actually makes me looking forward to some hands on time.

    Touch Screen looks decent in the ad, I’m pretty curious to see how the hands on videos go at IFA over the next few days!

    if anyone has the ufo album “force it” from 1975, and listens to the last song “between these walls” you would know that Michael Schenker really wrote the theme song Sony is using here….
