Pixelar's eReader hits the bookshelves

There’s a new ereader kid on the block, from Pixelar. It weighs in at £219 to Sony’s £224, with the most immediate difference being its black plastic casing as opposed to Sony’s white.

But what else do you get? Well, the 512MB internal memory will hold about 1000 books, but it also comes with a 1GB SD card for expanding that. It’ll play pretty much any file you chuck at it, from PDF to MP3, and you can read RSS feeds, providing you’ve downloaded them via USB. No WiFi here, sadly. It does however beat the Sony version by about 1,200 page turns, in terms of battery life.

Get yours here.
