The Sony booth had on display the Sony E-Book Reader. The screen is relatively simple and is only black and white, but as an e-book reader the display serves the product’s function well.

We took photos of the reader’s display at an extreme angle to show its excellent viewing range. It allows users to view in different conditions, such as lying down or having it placed at an odd angle in an airplane. The display has been developed using an anti-reflective technique which allows it to be viewed in bright conditions.

As is evident in the photo, the product is relatively the size of a regular book. The only difference is that it is much thinner.

The Mylo, which was also on display, can surf the web, via an Opera browser, and check mail. It can also be used with Google Talk and Yahoo Messenger. Most importantly, the Mylo can be used to make VoIP calls using Skype. It also is a multimedia player and supports MP3, ATRAC, WMA, and MPEG4.

The device is pretty small and can be easily carried. It also comes with a slideback QWERTY keyboard which facilitates writing email/navigation/browsing/etc.
