I presume you mean that once purchased, you can't "pick it up" and read a synopsis. Certainly you can find the synopsis at Amazon.com (for the Kindle), Sony Store (for the Sony), eHarlequin, Books-on-Board, etc.
Here's how I get around that problem. When I purchase a book from Amazon.com for my Kindle, I copy the book description -- which is usually the same as the back cover -- into a text file (copy/paste is so cool!) Sometimes I make one file per book, but most of the time I combine all the book descriptions into a single file. I then transfer this text file to my Kindle. Now, when I want to read a new book, I have the descriptions at hand to help me decide which book it will be. This approach should work as well with the Sony. One advantage with the Kindle is that I can make notes in the text file while it's on the Kindle. I do this, noting the date when the book was read, whether I liked it or not. You can later transfer these notes back to your PC if you want.
