My name is Carol and I'm looking to purchase a Sony PRS-600 at tax time. I have a whole bunch of questions though, I'm hoping that someone can help me.
First, is there any restriction on the books you can buy for it in Canada and is there a way to work around it (if there is) by having a US address like you can on the Amazon store?
Second, Does it have folders to organize the content you have on it?
Can you read ANY PDF on it or are there certian criteria they have to meet? (I'm VERY computer illiterate, have no idea about stuff like that.)
How do you get Google books? Couldn't find anything on the Google books website that gave the option of downloading.
Are there other websites that you can buy books from?
Can you get all the same books for it that you can for a Kindle, even if you have to pay more, is the same content available?
Can you take notes on the PDF's you're able to put on it?
Also, I can't find an NKJV Bible to put on it, that's what our church uses and I'd love to have one to take notes with, but I can't find one on the Sony book site, is there someplace else that I can look for one?

Thank you for your time, I hope that I've been able to ask the questions I have the right way.
Have a wonderful day,

The sagas of love, magic and adventure surrounding the four brothers of the Round Table; Gawain, Geraint, Gareth and Agravain as they battle against fate and magic to try to secure their loves, their lives and somehow, the future of Camelot itself.

Readers new to the series will want to begin with IN CAMELOT'S SHADOW, the story of Sir Gawain and Lady Risa, sometime afterwards known as the Loathly Lady.

If you're familiar with the series, you'll be glad to know that CAMELOT'S BLOOD, the fourth book which tells the story of Sir Agravain and the final battle with Mordred for the heart of Britain, which was never published in the US, is available now for the first time.

The books are bargain priced at $4.99 each, and all are available in multiple formats: EPUB, Mobi, .prc, .lit, .lrf, and PDF

Our blog is live! At Inkmesh we want to help you find new and interesting stuff to read, so we figured there’s no better way to start our blog than by recommending the National Book Awards Winners for 2009, announced on Wednesday. It comes as no surprise that the winners in all four categories are also available as ebooks, from multiple retailers and in several different formats:

Fiction: Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann
Nonfiction: The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt by T.J. Stiles
Poetry: Transcendental Studies: A Trilogy by Keith Waldrop
Young People’s Literature: Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice by Phillip M. Hoose

The links above help you find the best price for each ebook, and link to the Google Book Previews if available in your location. Check them out, and get them while they’re hot!
Interestingly, Claudette Colvin isn't available for the Kindle, it seems to have been released only as a Digital Editions PDF. ]]> News and Commentary anurag http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62814 <![CDATA[Astak "A Christmas Carol Gift Pack" deal!!]]> http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62813&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:17:28 GMT Robertb
