Is it possible to share purchased books for my sony ereader with an android?

debsbuddy · 08-15-2011, 06:06 PM

I purchased several books for my sony ereader and would like to share them with a family member who has a pandigital. Is it possible to share this? If so, do you know what the procedure is?? Thanks to anyone that knows how to do this:

Are the books ADE ePub?

I believe it should be possible to register both devices to the same ADE account.

download Sonyreader for Android or Aldiko Reader. Both support Adobe DRM. Then register whatever software you are using on the Pandigital with the same Adobe ID you use for the Sony ebook reader. After that you can use the Adobe software, Sony library to load your books to the Pandigital. My guess is that even sideloading them would work.

Sideloading is moving files from one device to another, usually through a USB cable.

Possibly, but you will need to connect the android to your PC, the plug in your mic and shout 'MARVINNNNN!'. If the android replies, you're probably able to.
