You are then on a vanilla android system, so you can install apps, for instance I had the kindle app on my t1, which allowed me to access my kindle account and read my mobis on it. At that time I had epub and mobis, so that made sense to me. You can also install fbreader and coolreader, or a mail app (I had k9 for instance running very smoothly). It does not replace a tablet of course, but the readability in the sun can be useful.

Forgot to say : the sony firmware is still on the device, so you can access the sony interface anytime without rebooting, it is implemented as a button, but also have the vanilla android interface.
