We discovered a video of the Sony Reader Touch-edition PRS 650. This is the follow-up to the 600-version, the one that opened the ebook market. The Touch edition is seen as the most important Sony Reader, next to the Pocket edition and the Daily edition, because of it's size and price. Sizewize it is comfortable to carry around (6 inch) and pricewize not as expensive as the larger ones. Interesting to see, that the price is lower than the introduction price of the previous Touch. Might this be a trend in the ebook reader world? Will it be a Kindle-killer? Pricewise? No. The Kindle is cheaper, but does not support ePub. So, in that perspective, Yes.
The Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-650 (can't Sony make the names of their devices a little shorter?) has quit some new features. Check out the video and see what the standard of Sony is. Click

Comparable are the features for downloading ebooks and using the ususal software applications. Interesting, in Europe you can get them in more colors than in other parts of the world. Why is that?
