While browsing the web on my PC, I often see articles which I'd like to save to read later on my Sony. Here's the procedure I use:
1) From Chrome, I click on the "dotEPUB" icon to convert the current web page to EPUB format. I save this to the Dropbox folder on my PC. The file is automatically uploaded to "the cloud".
2) On the PRS-T1, I use the built-in web browser to go the Dropbox mobile web site and select the file I created earlier. This is downloaded and added to my collection of books.
3) I read the article as I would any other EPUB file and either delete it or keep it after I'm finished.

I don't think there is any way to run the "dotEPUB" conversion directly from the Sony's web browser; I think you need to do this from a PC. (I'd love to hear if someone has a workaround so that everything can be done from the PRS-T1 itself.)
thank you but still I will wait for the color version able to navigate looking up pages and sync notes with Android, and ...sorry I am not too pretentious, also playing chess. The technology permits this, and as consumer I expect a product like this.
