This second-generation Sony Reader has some notable improvements over the first Sony Reader, including its consolidated physical design and increased storage, but considering Amazon’s Kindle offers more titles and wireless downloads over EV-DO, Sony’s sleeker styling and $100-cheaper price are probably not enough to make its sequel a bestseller.

However, its unattractive design, unfriendly button placement, and lofty price will give some pause.
