Sony fired its latest salvo in the battle for the e-book reader market on Wednesday with the unveiling of two new e-readers, one of which will be priced at under $200. It also cut the prices of new book releases and New York Times bestseller titles in its eBook Store to $9.99. Sony recently established ties with Google Books in a bid to increase its content — a critical issue for digital content providers. Will these moves help Sony’s new e-readers take on Amazon’s Kindle? The readers are the PRS-300SC and PRS-600SC. Both are part of a new Reader line.
