Sony store Us only?

[Mayr]

I'm from Portugal and eager on entering the ebook world.
I haven't quite decided the right reader for me since this is a world a lot more complex than I expected with all the formats, readers, conversions etc...

After spending the last 2 days reading this forum I'm pretty impressed with the Sony prs-505.
But I have a question, can I buy ebooks from the sony store or (just like Amazon) I have to have a US credit card?

Thanks in advance for such a great forum.

Hi Mayr, and welcome!

You can easily find ebooks on other sites like Waterstones.co.uk, ebooks.com (here make sure you select the good file format) and many others with a valid credit card. For the sony store, either you have a credit card through, for example, a friend, either you can buy a gift card from a member of the site (LeapingGnome and disney_mommy, for example- check first the flea market section, then PM them), either you try the old trick and "adapt" the billing info to both the US format and your credit card
