PC Advisor have published their review of the ViewSonic VEB620 ebook reader. 'The ViewSonic VEB620 doesn't have WiFi, or a touchscreen. But our experience with book readers suggests that keeping things simple improves the reader. Slow processors and slow E Ink screen refreshes on most ebook readers don't sit well with touch browsing or internet surfing. If you disagree, Viewsonic has the VEB625 model further up which sports both touchscreen and WiFi. But if you really want a touch-screen handheld device with WiFi connectivity and a colour display, you're be better off with an iPad. Or waiting for the imminent arrival of countless Google tablets.'

IT Reviews have published a review of the ViewSonic VEB620 ereader. 'The VEB620 and its close cousin the VEB625 are the company's first ereaders, and they are over-priced, under-featured pieces of kit which won't help establish ViewSonic in this relatively new and fast evolving market. The VEB620 is the first of the duo to become available. The VEB625 adds Wi-Fi and a touch screen, but is otherwise identical. The ViewSonic VEB620 comes in either black or white. Either way you get a slipcase to protect it in transit. With or without the case the device is just a bit large for most pockets, though its 6-inch screen gives you less viewing area than you get with the average paperback book.'

A review of the Viewsonic VEB620 e-Book reader has been posted over at Reg Hardware. 'Weighing 220g without the cover you'll barely notice the ViewSonic VEB620 in your bag, though at 188mm x 126mm x 9.9mm it isn't going to fit into the average pocket. The 6in screen offers considerably less viewing area than paperback book. There are five font sizes available, though. A dedicated button pages through them in sequence or you can use the menu system to choose one in particular.'

Trusted Reviews have published their review of the Viewsonic VEB612 E-Ink eReader. 'The VEB612 doesn't look all that different to most ebook readers currently on the market. Rather than the aluminium finish used on Sony's recent models, the VEB612 is finished in a white plastic that reminded us a little bit of early iPods. At 127 x 203 x 9mm it's quite small and the plastic construction means it's light too weighing just 180g. As a result it's quite comfortable to hold even for prolonged periods of reading. We also like the fact that Viewsonic has included a white leather-effect carrying case with a magnetic clasp on the front to protect the reader when you're carrying it around in a bag or rucksack.'

A review of the ViewSonic VEB612 ebook reader has been posted over at CNET UK. 'ViewSonic hasn't exactly broken any new ground with the VEB612's design, but it's still a relatively stylish device. The white finish may feel slightly plasticky, but it certainly gives the device a clean and fresh appearance. As the VEB612 is relatively petite, measuring just 127 by 203 by 9mm, it's pretty comfortable to hold too, and, at 180g, it's unlikely to push you over the hand-luggage limit when you're off on your travels, even if you're flying with Ryanair. We also like the way that ViewSonic has included a white leatherette case with a magnetic clasp on the front, to keep the VEB612 safe when it's tucked away in a backpack or suitcase.'
