sony-readerReady for more ebook readers? I hope so ’cause Sony has two in the pipe right now. Somehow the service manuals were posted in some random corner of the Internet and of course a forum user downloaded them. The PRS-300 seems to be an entry-level model and the PRS-600 is a slightly larger, better equipped ebook reader.

The PRS-300 is going to come equipped with a 5-inch screen and 440MB of storage. The PRS-600 however sports a 6-inch touchscreen along with audio outputs for what we can only assume is a text-to-speech or MP3 player. Neither service manual mentions anything about wireless connectivity which was the buzz a few days ago. Both models will be available in black, silver, and red whenever they are released.
