I didn't know you can purchase Kobo books on a Sony ereaders. I would prefer a Sony (besides my iPad ). So you purchase/download them on the computer and connect with USB to your ereaders device? Am not familiar how it works with ereaders devices, iPad makes it so easy

but its a big tablet to carry with me.
They told me at Staples you can only get books from Kobo with a Kobo reader, and Amazon books only with a Kindle. iPad let's you purchase books from all stores. Someone can explain to me a bit more? At Best Buy they didn't know if you can purchase books from other stores than Sony ebook store.
