Cool-er Reader in Ebook Readers
1 of 2 
Verdict
Cheaper and considerably more cheerful than many of its rivals, the Cool-er eBook reader is still something of an acquired taste
Review Date: 26 May 2009
Price when reviewed: £164 (£189 inc VAT)

Overall Rating
All told then, then the Cool-er is a mixed bag. At £189 it's roughly the same price as the Sony PRS-505, but with a better array of reading options and faster page turns, at the cost of build quality and format support. In the end it comes down to taste. If you found the Sony a trifle too stodgy for your neon-pink lifestyle, then the Cool-er could be the eBook reader you've been waiting for. Just do us a favour, and tape over the slogan on the back.
