Oh thanks a lot guys. So Sony Connect would not work out well for the VI... too bad. Are there plans for sony to address this?

I see that on ebooks.com and amazon.com, the most common formats for ebooks are Adobe Reader, Mobipocket Reader, Microsoft Reader, and HTML. How would each work for the visually impaired? I presume the Adobe files can be nlarged if you have Adobe Acrobat, and the HTML files can be enlarged without too much trouble if you know how HTML works? How well does this work? Can the MS formats be easily converted to RTF and then their fonts enlarged?

Thanks guys, sorry to be a pest!
