We Did The Research And We Stand Behind It
They say the ancient Library at Alexandria had close to five hundred thousand scrolls. Pretty cool, right? Unless you consider that scrolls can only be so big before they start getting too heavy and too irritating. But that’s an easy problem to solve, just add another scroll, label them as a two parter, and you’re done! Except sometimes, even two scrolls won’t do it. And then you start getting threes and fours and, well, you know how those ancient Greeks did like to prattle.
So if you really look at it, there’s a good chance that maybe, in the entire library of Alexandria, there were only like… 350 different books. And isn’t that a fantastic coincidence? The Sony PRS600 e-Reader Touch Edition can also hold roughly 350 different books! Some people will accuse us of skewing the data in our favor, but do THEY have any proof that we’re wrong? Of course not, because the Library of Alexandria got trashed a long, long time ago. And in America, it’s innocent until proven guilty! So point for us! Woo hoo!
And here’s another point as well. The Sony PRS600 e-Reader Touch Edition is designed to be thin and light, with a nice 6” touch screen that makes it easy for you to read the books you choose while on the go. That’s right, the books you choose. Because the Library at Alexandria was notorious for just seizing stuff off any boat that showed up. Let’s see, who was on boats back in those days? Sailors, travelers, and businessmen. Yeah, and think about this, what books were sailors, travelers and businessmen going to be reading? Maybe cheap romances? Self-improvement psychology? Sir Thomas of Clancyania, and not the really good early stuff, but the later stuff from when he stopped trying? Because from what we know about human nature, there’s a good chance the Library at Alexandria had the exact same selection as an airport B. Dalton’s. And those ancient librarians couldn’t place orders because nobody had yet invented the cardboard shipping box. No wonder somebody finally burned the place down in frustration!
Now, now, don’t get upset, we’re not saying that any of those books are bad per se. If you enjoy that sort of thing, more power to you! We’re just using it as an example, so let’s make our point clear: with a Sony PRS 600 e-Reader Touch Edition, every man, woman and child can have a small personal library of their favorite books with them at all times. Thanks to 512MB of onboard memory and dual expansion card slots for SD media and Sony’s own Memory Stick PRODuo, the Sony PRS600 e-Reader Touch Edition could easily hold every work of great literature that the human race has ever published… or maybe just Harry Potter and Twilight. But even still, did you know that the Library of Alexandria never once had a copy of Twilight on its shelves? You know what that’s called? Censorship!
