Surely it doesn't mean that in Oz- or anywhere actually - you can't buy from an online shop at all,(Borders, Smiths etc..) 'cos you don't have a Sony store ?
Or can you only use the wifi from Sony bookstores, wherever you are in the world, but no other independent ones ?

That's plain ridiculous !!

Or will someone point out the flaw in someone's statements ! [prob'ly mine..]


I'm much less impressed now, anyway, and very glad I've got my x50's.
The german guy at the IFA Sony stand told me(roughly translated):

"You will be able to download any compatible content from any web page per WiFi using the built in web browser."

He went on to list a couple of sales portals incl. Thalia.de, Bol.de, Kobobooks.com and GoogleBooks which are all supposed to work per WiFi.

I asked him: "Even MS-Word Documents?" and he confirmed it.
