Hi all,

I would be grateful for some advice from someone more technically minded than I am.

I want to buy an Ebook Reader. In addition to downloading 'protected' ebooks from a reputable supplier (I fully support anti-piracy measures), I also want to create my own files on my laptop computer and download them on to an Ebook Reader (I write short stories, etc, and this would be an ideal for me to be able to store and read them on a portable Ebook Reader). I have asked retail suppliers of Ebooks if this is possible, and their response is that Ebook manufacturers provide only very limited product advice to retail sales outlets; hence they could not tell me whether I could create my own written files and download/read them on an Ebook.

Is this possible, please: has anybody done this and, if so, how straightforward is this?

I am in the UK.

Thanks,
Gary
