Bestsellers such as ‘The Da Vinci code’ will soon be available to buy for just 0ver £3 on a new portable electronic reading gadget.

The Sony Reader, a device that can store hundreds of books and display them with the same clarity as ink and paper, is being launched in America.

The makers have also created an online library of 10,000 electronic books from six publishers to coincide with the launch.

It’s described as the new iPod for books, and Sony hopes it will do for reading what the apple product has done for its music.

The readers screen has no flicker and no backlight, so bookworms can read for hours without straining their eyes.

Selling for under £200, the reader measures about the size of an average hardback.
