Sony Reader
Hi everybody, I just bought the Sony Reader (on ebay as I am in England). So far, I find it amazing. I have read many messages on this forum but I am still very confused! Sorry!!! Other than on this website, where can I download (recent) ebooks suitable for the Sony reader and/or how can I re-format files? I have downloaded books from ebooks.com but they are not compatible. Could someone please give me some advice.
Many Thanks. |

Just today we learned that Fictionwise has added LRF as part of their "multiformat" set. I should say "is adding" as they're still working on it. So that's a good place to try.

I have just read through a lot of this thread and see that there is some level of concern in regard to the policy of B&video as to scanning and sending your credit card details. I have been a customer of B&H for the last three years, regularly making large purchases of photographic gear (I also bought my Sony there). I have never yet had any issues in regard to this store who have very honest and helpful service. I am in Australia and generally receive any product within five days, sometimes less.

Yes, that's correct - it will only accept US credit cards. You do not have to enter any address or credit card details simply to register your Reader, however. Simply check the "I live in the USA" box.

Hi
I could not wait for the Booken 3G so purchased a PRS 500. Great device but I cannot register it as I must be resident in the US to do so. How have others registered theirs? Marg |

Note that there's a huge range of material in Sony format now available from Fictionwise, so you do have choices other than Connect. |

However new content as in new release titles are not available as there is no DRM to the multi format titles. |

Yes we deliberately overspent the $50 credit the site gave us so it would be forced to use some credit from the credit card and it worked no problem

I used my non-US credit card

I decided as an experiment to try out your method also, and I did manage to buy a DRM-ed ebook for my Sony reader with a non-US credit card. So, I know now that I can still buy ebooks from the connect store; I have to admit I don't like this DRM thing, and will try to avoid it as much as possible. Anyway, it is good to know that I can still buy e-books from the connect store. |
