CNET have published their review of the Sony Reader Daily Edition PRS-900BC - eBook reader. 'The Daily Edition's 7.1-inch screen offers a 1,024x600-pixel resolution and 16 levels of grayscale. Like most other electronic paper products, this model uses e-ink technology, which serves to make the letters and words on the screen look more printlike in their appearance. One of the characteristics of e-ink is that when you turn a page or scroll from one onscreen menu item to another, there's a slight delay as the screen refreshes. That's true of this model, too, but it has a faster processor than Sony's entry-level PRS-300. Its faster processor is helpful when accessing PDF files, particularly larger ones, and using the zoom feature on those documents. (Note: Larger screen e-readers are more suitable for viewing PDF files, but while this one doesn't do a great job with them, it does better than the Nook and the Kindle do).'
