Review of Sony Reader Digital Book

With the introduction of the new digital paper technology, there are now a wave of new digital readers on the market. It seems that digital reader technology has finally thrown down the shackles of immaturity and become a viable way to read. In this article I am going to be looking at the Sony Reader Digital Book and outlining my opinions on it.

A Sexy Little Number

The first thing to notice with the Sony Digital Reader is its stylish design. The reader comes in a number of different colors but mine is of the dark blue variety. The reader is encased in a stylish metal shell giving it a grown-up air and a hint of sophistication. The system also comes bound in an outer case which opens and closes like a book for protection.

Down the side of the screen are the numbers 0 though 9 strategically placed to coincide with menu option locations for ease of menu navigation. Below the screen there is a zoom button and a button for placing bookmarks. A nice aspect to the reader is that there are two sets of buttons for flipping pages; one which coincides with the placement of your fingers when reading a book in landscape mode and one for when reading in portrait. This is a feature that I'm particularly impressed with and that other readers such as the Irex Iliad don't possess. At the bottom of the reader there is a headphone jack and volume control. There is also a USB connector port and a mains connector for charging. The reader can be fitted with two additional memory cards. At the top of the reader there is a slot for both PROduo and SD cards. The device is light and compact, I can't help but be impressed with it's physical design.

Under the Hood!

Ok, it's time to get down and dirty. When you flick the on switch, the reader takes about three second to power up which is very favourable in comparison to the Irex Iliad which takes about 40 seconds. When the system power up you're presented with an attractive menu with 10 options which are as follows:
Continue reading - This is a helpful little feature that allows you to jump straight back into the book you were reading and at the correct page.
Books by Title - Organise the entire library of books by title.
Books by Author - Organise the library by author.
Books by Date - Organise the books by date.
Collections - with the software provided you're able to create a number of categories in which to organise the books, you can then view these categories through this menu option.
All Bookmarks - View bookmarks that you have placed on all books.
Now Playing - It is possible to listen to MP3 music while reading a book, this is where the name of the track is placed and from where you can change track.
Audio - Display the list of audio titles on the reader.
Pictures - From here you can view pictures on the reader. This is a nice feature although the quality of the pictures isn't great.
Settings - Change the various setting on the reader.

The system is quite feature rich but what is it like as a reader?

Reading With the Sony Reader

My initial impressions of the reader is that it's very comfortable, it's lightweight and compact design means that you can easily use the book anywhere at all; while relaxing on the sofa, when in bed, when outside, on the train, bus or anywhere else. It's basically just like a real book. This said, there are a few drawbacks that make reading from an actual book still the better option. For example the device takes a second or so to flick pages - this isn't such a major issue but when wishing to change a number of pages at the same time it becomes a little annoying.

I have been quite impressed with the device's battery life. Having used the device for a number of weeks I still haven't had to charge the battery. This is however dependant on how you use the reader. If you constantly listen to mp3 tracks while reading I should imagine that the battery lasts considerably less time.

Supported Formats

The supported formats for the Sony Reader are as follows:
BbeB Book - Sony's official format. Books of this format can be purchased online from Sony's book store.
PDF - This is Adobe's famous format, the reader does support PDF but there are a number of issue. I will be discussing issues and solutions below.
RTF - A universal document format. The Sony Connect software will automatically convert Microsoft DOC files to this format on uploading to the reader.
TXT - Basic text format with no kind of formatting.
Supported image formats:

JPEG
PNG
GIF
BMP
Supported audio formats:

MP3
AAC*5
What's the Deal with PDF?

When buying a digital reader a lot is made of a devices ability to display PDF files. What firstly has to be understood is that PDF displays content on screen exactly as it will display on the printed page. So if for example a book is designed for on an A4 page, it will loose a little quality and readability when displayed on a smaller screen. This isn't the end of the world however and Sony have added features to make reading a PDF more comfortable. The first of these is the ability to flip the page into landscape mode. This effectively splits one page into two and produced large text size and better image quality. This however is still smaller than an A4 page is designed to be. It's important to point out that the zoom feature does not work on the PDF format so what other options are there?

Making PDFs a Viable Option for the Sony Reader

Thankfully there are a number of free third party applications available for download that convert a large PDF file for viewing on the Sony Reader system. The best of these is called PDF to LRF converter. I have used this software extensively and find it extremely good, it's absolutely essential for anybody with a Sony Reader.

The Sony Reader Software

The system comes with a software package for uploading and managing the titles on the Sony Reader system. Generally I find the software easy to use and well designed although there are some features that I would like adding. The first of these relates to placing books in categories. As mentioned earlier it is possible to place the books into categories to make managing large libraries easier. However, with this software as of yet there is no way to create sub-categories. For me this would be a very handy feature as I read lots of science books. Instead of creating a science category with a number of sub categories covering physics, chemistry etc. I have to create these categories separately. Well, I guess this isn't a major issue but it's something that I'd like to see improved upon in the future.

The software does come with the device though I believe it is a work in progress and you will probably find that at some stage you will be able to download an improved version from the Sony website.

Buying Ebooks

Sony have there own website devoted to selling ebook specifically for the Sony Reader (BBeB Books). This website works very much like Apple's itunes and is accessed through a free software package that can be downloaded from the Sony website.

Conclusion

Using the Sony Reader I have become a real avid supporter of ebook reader technology. The amount of space I'd saved using the Sony Reader is incredible. The good thing about reading an ebook is when you have finished, you can simple delete it where as with a real book it usually sits in a corner collecting dust. Though I didn't think I would be, the Sony Reader has turned me into a really ebook fan and even encouraged me to read more than I normally do. Would I recommend the Sony Reader? You bet I would.

Sony Corporation is even the parent company and the main electronic business division of Sony Group. This division was engaged in manufacturing five major operating segments which includes entertainment (music and motion pictures), games, financial services and electronics.

Sony CyberShot TX7 Review

Translate Request has too much data
Parameter name: request

Today we're looking at one of the hottest cameras announced early January at the annual CES event. It came from the Sony booth and is part of the T series family which are the ultra compact point and shoot cameras. Characteristics of the CyberShot T series is that they are all high end cameras with a thin body and a sliding cover in front of the Carl Zeiss lens. They also wear a heavy price-tag and unfortunately the camera we're discussing today is no different. With a price-tag of $400 and a 2010 February release date, I'm of course talking about the Sony CyberShot TX7.

What's in the box

The CyberShot TX7 is packed like you're used to with Sony products. The packaging is very small and has the essentials printed on it. Surprisingly the blue version is shown on all boxes, it's not dependent on the color of the model inside. The first things you're going to see are the manual, a registration paper and a advert for additional accessories including the party-shot dock. After that you finally get to see the camera you've been reading so much about. The Sony TX7 immediately draws attention to itself for its slim and premium design, more on that later. Sony was quite generous on the cable side of things. You get an AC cable for charging, a USB cable and a Stereo audio cable for connecting your dock with a stereo system, but HD people will mention that sound can be transferred through a HDMI cable so this particular cable will probably not be used much.

An HDMI cable is absent so you will have to buy one of those if you want to connect your camera directly to your tv. Also absent is a DC cable, so the dock can't be used as a charger right out of the box, I was a little disappointed by that. And I have to say I was moderately surprised that a wristband and an Exmor R mention were attached to the camera right out of the box. After removing both I was all ready to insert the included battery (a really small battery, new generation not found in the previous T cameras) and a SD memory card. Yes The Sony CyberShot TX7 is the first to support not only memory pro duo but also SD and SDHC.

There was one more thing in the box. A little pen you can control the touchscreen with. I don't think anybody will want to use it but it deserves a mention nevertheless for the fans. One circumstance the pen can really shine is when you're using the drawing features on the camera. And that's all you will find in the box. Apart from an HDMI cable and a DC cable, pretty much everything you can wish for is there.

Design

The first thing you're going to notice when glancing at the TX7 is the slim aluminum design. Its all brushed aluminum and with the lens cover up, the only two things that pop are the Sony and CyberShot logos. Everything that could possibly distract you from the minimalistic design are hidden behind the lens cover. It's interesting to see that Sony has opted to change some of the little body features that the TX1 and T900 had. For one the Sony logo is now in the middle and the CyberShot name has been removed from the cover to the lower body. Also gone is the curve in the lens cover which made the older models look like the cover was actually going all the way to the back of the device. With the cover down things still look relatively clean. The lens is on the left side with the flash right beside it. The stereo microphones are placed slightly to the right.

Moving to the back. It's almost all display, edge to edge. There are almost no buttons as the camera is controlled by the 3.5" touchscreen. Sony has done a terrific job getting rid of the wide edges around the screen. On the right edge they have placed a small metal ring where you can attach your wrist band to. Compared to previous T series cameras the metal ring is now really small which is great. Some people might prefer the longer wider wristband attachment though because it allowed them to hold their thumb on it to get that extra stability. Sony also added one extra button which is a dedicated Movie/photo button. Besides that you get the same buttons that TX1 users have. The on/off button (you can also turn on the device by sliding the lens cover), the shutter release, a play button for showing your photos and last but not least a zoom rocker.

I do have one remark about the design: Why so much technical branding? Beside the lens Sony printed a lot of technical terms some of which we didn't even understand. On the top it says: HDavchd, which is one of the video formats it can record to and just above the touchscreen you will be reminded that this camera has the new Exmor R sensor. Maybe they added the info to help impulsive buyers. The house dad that bought a new camera because it looked shiny and then comes home and says: 'look dear, I bought this camera which has an Exmor R and a optical steady shot. I guess it's really good.'

Yeah well don't always judge a book by its covers. Luckily the branding isn't that annoying especially when you compare it the amount of every other camera on the market. But I would applaud the company that manages to release a camera without any branding (apart from company logo and camera series). Maybe it's just impossible because of the rights and patents or something.

The overall design of the Sony CyberShot TX7 is amazing. It's looks so clean for a digital camera. Believe me this camera will turn heads and people won't immediately recognize it as a digital camera. Which is great because the point and shoot products and SLRs are not known for their design. Also think of the benefits like when you want to take pictures of your high school sweetheart before you actually asked her out or something like that.

Ease of use

For this part of the review I wanted not only my opinion but also those of a few people around me. But first I want to mention that I quickly found the patterns in the controls which made it an easy ride for me. On the left and right side you see a lot of icons indicating modes that are active at that particular moment. For example when you've activated the panorama mode a little icon on the left side will notify you of this. If you want to change to a different mode simply click on the panorama logo and select the mode that best suits your needs. Options are: twilight (6 shots becoming 1, ideal for low light), 10fps burst mode (10 shots in a second, ideal for fast moving objects), Panorama (sweep to make, ideal for landscapes) and HDR mode (2 pictures with different settings, ideal for high contrast photos).

The Sony TX7 perfectly implemented this system in all of its controls. Click on the timer to set a timer, click on the menu button to access the preferences etc. For me at first I was skeptical of the new dedicated movie/photo button. I thought it was a waste of space as you can also switch modes using the touchscreen. But as I started shooting photographs and movies I found myself reaching for the button a lot. It's just a whole lot easier and quicker somehow to use the physical button for switching between the video and photo functionality.

Sony has done a great job with the TX7 on the ease of use department. The buttons on the left side and right side aren't just buttons, they're also indicators of the modes and settings you have selected for that particular shot. The dedicated buttons (shutter, zoom, video/photo and show gallery) are really the bare essentials and things you always want to have in reach. Not everything is perfect though. For one the touchscreen is good but not great. The iPhone will beat it with its capacitive touchscreen and multi-touch. And secondly there's no way to see which settings you have used once the photo is taken. It would be great if you could hit the little info button and get all the information you got while you were taken the picture.

Now I showed the camera to a couple of passers by, you know mom, grandma, aunt, and asked them for their honest opinion. They all said that the camera was very easy to use. The icons were clear and the few buttons made the Sony TX7 one of the few cameras that don't intimidate the users. Unlike the Panasonic Lumix TS1, which rumors say scared Bill Gates once. So it seems that the device is easy to use for both tech geeks like myself and regular folks.

Specs and features

The Sony Cybershot TX7 comes with all the latest technology from Sony. The modes includes: smile mode (camera takes a photo when subject smiles), face detection, panorama, 10fps burst, twilight and much more. The auto mode is going to be the mode most users leave it at. In that mode the camera automatically detects whether you're attempting a macro shot, twilight or any other shot. It also knows when it's on a tripod, which is really cool.

Image quality

Overall the pictures this point and shoot can produce are quite good. With its wide angle lens (25mm) landscapes photos are a please to make and look at. But I did notice a touch of softness in the edges. And because the camera tries to keep noise down, some sharpness goes lost in the process. Colors are realistic but some users may not like it because they aren't really as vivid as some other compacts on the market. But for me I prefer a more realistic look to the "Disney" feel that has become really popular these days.

The panorama shots are great, a real plus. They always work, I've shot 10 so far and all 10 were flawless. Of course sometimes a small stitching error is made but given the ease of use I can hardly complain. Twilight mode is another thing users may want to experiment with. In this mode the camera takes 6 shots and compares them to create the ultimate photo. It works because in this mode low light pictures are considerably sharper and have less noise. HDR mode is the last one I'm going to talk about in this review.

Here the camera attempts to make a photo with lots of counter light. Imagine a tree with the sun behind it shining in your camera. In a normal situation the tree will be black with a big yellow dot behind it, right? Well in HDR mode the camera attempts to photograph the tree without any loss of tree details. So instead of a black tree, you get a brown tree with some nice textures on it. Surprisingly this mode works outstanding. I say surprisingly because these types of shots could only be managed my $1500+ SLR cameras in the past, that is until today because the Sony TX7 handles them with ease.

Conclusion

Sony has delivered a stunning camera with the release of the Cybershot TX7. It's a very compact device that you can take with you everywhere. It looks great from every angle and most people seem to agree because this camera is a real head turner. The touchscreen is pretty responsive (almost iPhone like, but not quite) and the different modes and options are easy to find. So the camera is very easy to use. Picture quality is good but not SLR like. The image can be a bit soft but the TX7 does a great job keeping noise away and making really good photos in a very short time. Video recording of this cam is superb. It's the best I've ever seen and I still can't believe all that is coming from such a small device.

So I recommend the Sony Cybershot TX7 to people who want a good looking small compact camera that takes really good pictures. You won't be disappointed, just don't expect SLR quality.

Sony Bravia TV Review

The Sony Bravia LCD televisions offer superb technology, in a designer package. With the addition of DLNA and motion blur reducing technology, the new Sony LCD TV line allows a user interactivity and functionality that sets a new standard for LCD television usability. New models also feature high efficiency components that reduce energy consumption.

With the combination of an energy switch, presence sensor, and a new energy efficient backlight, the Sony LCD TV models use 50 percent less energy than standard sized LCD televisions. This reduction in power usage is not only good for the consumer's utility bill, but also good for the environment. The Sony Bravia not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions, by reducing energy consumption, there is also another way that Bravia LCD Televisions help the environment and clear the mess that normally surrounds a home theater system.

Wires are a common problem facing anyone that has a home theater system. This can be compounded when the TV is mounted on a wall and not enclosed in an entertainment cabinet. The new Sony Bravia LCD televisions have solved that problem by using wireless connectivity to eliminate wires connecting components to the TV. This technology is exclusive to the Bravia HD TV line-up and effectively eliminates the mess of wires, while still providing a high-quality picture.

The high quality picture offered by the Sony LCD TV line-up is due to an upgraded processor that increases contrast. To increase the picture quality even further, the Bravia LCD TVs utilize advanced color technologies that offer a broader color range, which provides for a more realistic picture. Providing a more realistic image is not the only way a Bravia LCD TV enhances a consumer's viewing experience.

Even with a realistic image on the screen, LCD TVs have had a common problem with motion blur. This is caused when one image has not fully been cleared from the screen before the next image is displayed. The Sony LCD televisions use a combination of motion flow technology and image blur reduction to provide a cleaner transition between images. This combination is vital to clean motion.

The motion flow technology more than doubles the amount of images shown per second. A standard LCD TV displays 50 images per second (50Hz), whereas a Bravia LCD TV display 100 images per second (100 Hz), this coupled with backlight clearing, provides the clearest motion of any LCD TV.

To make the most of the clear picture and clean motion, the Sony Bravia LCD televisions offer consumers the ability to interact more efficiently with the television. Sony's Applicast allows end users to customize a TV to view internet movies, RSS Feeds, and much more without the need to manual send the information from a computer.

If web viewing was not enough interactivity, Sony Bravia LCD TVs also have the ability to display pictures and video directly from other Sony electronic products. Sony HDNA technology allows a user to wirelessly connect any Sony compatible device to the television and display videos and images in high-definition quality.

Find out for yourself what the advantages of buying a Sony Bravia LCD TV are. The author of this article recommends a couple of sites that have good advice and some great deals on sony bravia LCD TV or Sony Bravia TV.

Sony KDL40L4000 Review

The greatest thing about any Sony product is its consistency. Most of the electronics produced by Sony consistently ranks high in product testing, consistently outperforms its rivals, consistently provides top-notch performance, and consistently rakes in many accolades and praises. This quality extends greatly to their LCD TV line-up and their BRAVIA series has been highly successful in meeting the stringent consumer demands today. And with new innovations being produced regularly, Sony has been able to pack superb quality and performance even to their models at the base level, shown greatly with the Sony KDL40L4000.

Large screens on flat TVs used to be the specialty of TVs with plasma technology. LCDs then were simply inferior to plasma when it comes to bigger sized screen displays. Prior to the Sony KDL40L4000, Sony relied on their plasma division to ensure that their large screen TVs where a cut above the rest. But because more manufacturers are now concentrating on LCD technology, large screen LCD TVs, from 40 to even 60 inches are able to effectively generate optimal performance and quality never before seen on an LCD TV.

Looking at the image display that the Sony KDL40L4000 provides, it's easy to notice why it's been acknowledged to be the best around. While it may seem a bit pricey as compared to other brands in the same entry level category and screen display size, you get a distinct feature that no other manufacturer can provide, the esteemed Sony quality.

And being a 40 inch widescreen LCD TV, the Sony KDL40L4000 is huge. It's a great addition to any home entertainment system and because it's at the entry level, it won't cost a fortune to have one. Elegantly designed with a glossy black finish, the Sony KDL40L4000 can instantly turn a room around and make it stunningly appealing. It can either be placed on a tabletop using a stand that comes along with the TV, or you can hang it on a wall using a wall bracket. Fantastic to look whether it's turned on or off, this Sony TV is a value product that serves well as an entertainment source and for room aesthetics. Measuring 39 inches, 27 inches, and 10.6 inches in width, height, and depth, the Sony KDL40L4000 is a relatively large and heavy LCD TV, weighing in at 47.4 lbs. It has a solid built that gives a feel that it is very durable and reliable.

It's very difficult to see the difference between the Sony KDL40L4000 and its higher end cousins, especially if you're not a technology expert that scrutinizes every nook and cranny of the LCD TV. While it is true that this Sony TV has differences and is inferior quality wise and feature wise with higher end models in the Sony series of LCD, these are differences that are not important to the common TV viewer and would not diminish the quality Sony has provided to the Sony KDL40L4000.

Electrical Deals specialize in graded consumer electronics products, compare our prices on the Sony KDL40L4000 40 inch LCD television. We have a large range of discounted Sony televisions now in stock.
