Yeah, you can either have the Connect software do it on the PC, or the Reader do it the first time it opens them. The advantage to the Connect software is you can preview the look and it saves you time because you don't have to wait for the Reader to do it the first time you open the file, but it will work both ways.

Thanks for the correction! Like I said, at least that puts the Sony on par with the Jinke.

Hi.Iam from Greece.My english is poor but i will try to describe you the situation.

I ordered the IREX 3 months ago.When i received it i realised technical problems.I couldnt turn on the device from the switch on/off button but only from the...reset button.Also when i charged the battery and i turned of the irex, when i turned on it again after 4-5h was empty(the battery).

I send a video to the company and they accepted that the device had problems because of them.They told me that they will send me a replacement.

I received 2 days before the replacement.Almost the same problems.Now the device is turning on no from the switch on/off button but only(automatically)when i conect the device to the socket.The battery is full.

I report again to them about it.Nobody(2 days now)answer me.I am not gonna lose 686euro.My loyer is ready.But i am surprised from the company's behaviour.

My apologises for my english

Is Kindle not considered an e-reader?
Why wasn't Kindle included as one of your choices?

Because the poll was started over a year before the Kindle was announced?

Probably for the same reason the Cybook wasn't included.

From all the thread that I have read, I thought the Sony is still by far cheap in its price and far more versatile in the format of ebooks it can accomodate?
