When you open a book, you see two facing pages at once. Sony has duplicated this real-world reading experience with the introduction today of its third e-reader, the Reader Daily Edition, available this December for $400. Equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen and 3G wireless connectivity (finally) via AT&T to download books directly to the device, you can read a single page in regular portrait mode, or see two pages across in landcape mode.
Unlike Amazon's Kindle, the Daily Edition Reader will be sold through a large number of brick-and-mortar retailers incuding Best Buy, BJs, Borders, Sam's Club, Staples, Target, Toys "R" Us and Wal-Mart. Like the Kindle DX and the large-screen reader coming from Plastic Logic early next year, the Daily Edition makes large-format newspapers and magazines easier to read.
The new Reader also has the ability to borrow books from the library. More on that after the Continue jump, along with a few more pics of the Daily Edition.
