The PRS-T1 boasts a 6-inch E Ink Pearl display, which delivers sharp text and crisp images, mimicking the appearance of printed paper.

In addition to the PRS-T1, the PRS-T1RC (Reader Companion) and PRS-T1WC (White) variants provide users with even more choices. The PRS-T1RC, featuring a specialized cover, includes added functionality like an integrated light for nighttime reading. The PRS-T1WC, on the other hand, comes in a striking white finish, appealing to users who prefer a modern aesthetic.
