Sony's.
NY1 report on the Sony e-book Reader
I have a Sony Ericcson w300i and I would like to be able to use it as an e-book reader if possibe. I would even be open to buying software if it's available but would prefer free. Thanks!
Typically PDA style cellular phones are capable of this feature, and typically requires the purchase of a 3rd party application. Your phone will likely not support this feature as it is basically a straight cellular phone, and not a PDA style phone like a Treo or BlackBerry.
My BlackBerry's will support this feature with the purchase of a 3rd Party app.
Hope this helps.
I want to get a Sony reader digital book. I would like to know if you like it for the people who has this device.
It's okay, I'd go with the Amazon Kindle though. I've had both, and would say I got more out of the Kindle.
I would like one that has a built in dictionary and about the size of a hardback book.
You are better off with a low end Pocket PC device like Casio or Acer or Palm based PDA as almost all eBook readers (Franklin,PDAMan etc) have seemed to failed.
I heard a lot of users complain that digital readers does not feel like reading a real book. Is that true? If so what would make it feel like a real book?
Two reasons why e-book readers didn't pick up in the market were
1. Lack of availability of content
2. High pricing / Lack of marketting or business model that justify the cost.

Software Will Be the E-Reader's Kingmaker PC Magazine
.But the screen is only one part of what it will take
to make a successful market here. I'm convinced that, as in most cases
these days, it's the software that will drive the hardware and
determine the eventual winners and losers in this market.
That's where the Sony Reader and Amazon Kindle have had such a big lead
over all their competitiors to date. The E-ink technology had been out
for a while, but it took Sony to make the device commercial, and Amazon to wirelessly link the device with its online store; and that
combination helped make this a real market.The Kindle had the initial
advantage of a much bigger store, but almost every e-reader you see has
access to an online store of some sort.
Clearly, the store is still important. Amazon is pushing its own, as
are Barnes and Noble (with the Nook) and Sony.Nearly all the
Android-based devices have access to Google Books (typically for older,
public domain titles titles), but several have content partnerships
with Barnes
