Finally it’s official. Sony is releasing two new ebook readers, the PRS-300 for $199 and the PRS-600 for $299.

Sony is today delivering on its promise of making digital readers and eBooks accessible and affordable for consumers with the introduction of two new Readers. Part of a new Reader line, the Reader Pocket Edition™ puts a library in your hands for as little as $199. Both the Reader Pocket Edition and the Reader Touch Edition™ will be available at the end of August, at SonyStyle.com, SonyStyle stores and select retail partners. Also, new releases and New York Times bestseller titles in the eBook Store from Sony will now be available for $9.99.

Good news, the eReaders are becoming more and more popular and if you have not bought one yet consider then for your Christmas wish list. You will never regret it, I can tell you that from my own experience, my Kindle is my best investment in the last 10 years.

I was really disappointed when the new gen Sony eReaders still had the last gen display. Where's the 16-shade gray scale? Where's the color? Guess I'll just wait for Plastic Logic's entry to show up. Sony... you've let me down.

I can tell you that from my own experience, my Kindle is my best investment in the last 10 years.

Better than your tablet PC, Frank? :D

Seriously, I'd only consider a dedicated eBook reader a good investment if:

1. The money I saved buying eBooks instead of paper books was more than the cost of the reader.
2. I was able to read books faster making the time I saved worth more than the cost of the reader.
3. I was able to find information in books (usually references or technical books) faster making the time I saved worth more than the cost of the reader.

or some combination of those AND I couldn't get electronic books for my other portable devices (netbook, smart phone, etc.) or those books cost more than the dedicated eBook reader books.

That's a bit oversimplified, because the dedicated eBooks probably have screens that are better for reading books than smart phones, but they're also less portable.
