IDG News Service - Sony announced two new e-readers on Tuesday, a 
full-featured touchscreen edition and a smaller, portable e-reader that 
costs $100 less than Amazon's popular Kindle.

The Sony Reader Touch Edition comes with a 6-inch touchscreen good for 
navigating the software menu, turning pages on e-books, highlighting text 
and more. The e-reader will be available by the end of August and cost 
around US$299, the same as the most recent edition of Amazon's Kindle.

Sony's second new e-reader, the Reader Pocket Edition, is a more basic 
e-reader with a 5-inch screen and will cost around $199 when it launches 
at the end of this month, $100 less than the Kindle.

The two new Sony e-readers can both store up to 350 e-books and run for 
two weeks on a battery charge, the company said in a statement.

They can also be used to read e-books from a variety of Web sites, 
including 500,000 free public domain titles from Google, Sony said. The 
devices support several standards, including Sony's BBeB (Broadband 
eBooks) format, the ePub (electronic publication) free standard by 
International Digital Publishing Forum, Adobe PDF formats and Microsoft 
Word.
