Are there options on a rooted Sony PRS T1 which would allow us to borrow books from libraries directly onto the ereader? (i.e. not side-loading on PC)
darn.
I see this page https://help.overdrive.com/customer/...-e-ink-readers still has text that says "How to borrow and download eBooks using a Sony Reader Wi-Fi" but there is no longer a link to instructions.


Edited to add that I've started a thread in the "which one should I buy" forum asking what other options there are, in case I decide to get a different reader.

I have not heard anything further from my library's help desk. I guess they don't want to be the ones to officially tell me Overdrive is no longer supporting direct download on Sonys.

So I guess it's either keep the Sony and rely on sideloading, or look into other readers. Ugh.
