To some people who have devices such as eReaders, jackets and similar accessories can wait. But if you happen to be offered genuine leather jackets as coverings, then perhaps you may do well to get one while they are around. Protective covers of this kind are certain to run out fast so it would be best to get one as soon as you get the chance.

M-Edge has been known to provide great protective covers for eReaders and today, they unveil a new line of colorful and protective jackets for the Sony Reader PRS-505 and Sony Reader PRS-700. The readers come in three types, namely:

1. Executive Jacket for Sony Reader PRS-505 and PRS-700 – (MSRP $39.99)
2. Leisure Jacket for Sony Readers – (MSRP $29.99)
3. Platform Jacket for Sony Reader (MSRP $39.99)

Depending on your preference and style, anyone of these three lines should be a perfect fit for protection and fashionable eReader casings.

Call it a stroke of genius but Google seems to have technically made the iPhone as eReaders of their new mobile version for its Book Search site. These handsets can access a wealth of free material right at the user’s fingertips.

Book Search works by displaying a scanned version of the actual book page, but while this reads well on a computer screen, it doesn’t hold up well on a handset. Google has used Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract plain text from these volumes and the end result is easily readable.

There are over half a million ebooks to choose from (with 1.5 million books if you live in the US), a strong case against investing in an exclusive eReader like Amazon’s Kindle or the Sony Reader.
