Well, it's about time! We knew Sony was prepping some Reader apps to
go along with its physical Pocket, Daily, and Touch Edition e-readers,
and while it may have missed that December release date, the Android
version of the app is now available in the Market. The free app is
pretty much what you'd expect -- you can log in with your username and
it automatically syncs previously purchased books, and like the e-
readers, it also supports ePub and PDF formats. In addition, you can
easily highlight text and adjust font and brightness settings right
from the page you're reading. We downloaded the app and found it to be
pretty decent, however, the Store shortcut launches within the browser
rather than in the app. Ready for the twisted part? Sony has confirmed
for us that the app will only work with handsets that run Android 2.2
and higher, which is incredibly ironic considering most Sony Ericsson
handsets are, you know, still stuck with 2.1. Of course, it looks like
that PlayStation Phone will work just fine when it's finally released,
but that's neither here nor there -- hit the gallery for a pile of
screenshots of the app.
