Is anyone using this? I would like the option to be able to shop from the Sony Reader store. Sometimes they have a book that Kobo doesn't carry.

I'm still trying to find an easy way to transfer non-kobo books from my laptop to my Vox. I physically connected the vox to my laptop yesterday and transferred a couple of books purchased from Sony to the memory card. (The vox froze and I had to do a hard shutdown or whatever it's called.) The Kobo app was unable to import them, although it did import a couple of other books from the Aldiko and Overdrive apps.

I don't really care for Aldiko and Overdrive as readers, as they don't show page numbers at all and the pages don't turn as nicely as the Kobo app pages do. (Page numbers are an issue with me. I want to see what page I'm on and how many are left.) I was able to borrow a library book. The Kobo app wasn't able to import that one either.

I guess I would like to have my sony downloaded books on my Vox.
