I asked what was the point of having wifi then and he said you could use it to look things up about whatever you were reading e.g. find out more info about something written in the book."
So, if that's correct, I'm not getting one - its ridiculous.
So, score seems to be :
Sony 0 (after a lot of pointless effort?) : kindle --- (name your figure)
No wonder a guy in our computer shop said he would never ever advise anyone to buy a Sony computer .....'cos they didn't have a clue !
I thought that harsh at the time, but .............  |
Let me ask you this, are people able to purchase and download books from other stores with the Nook & Kindle? If not, then this shouldn't be held against Sony if the others don't allow it.
And certainly nothing is stopping them from doing it the old fashioned way via their computers.
