Hi--just to clarify--these free Birthday Books are NOT a loan--once opened, they're unlimited duration. No time limit.

The Birthday Book should reflow on Sonys--it does on the Sonys we've tested on.

(But PDF reflow obviously can't be as good, on any small device, as a natively-reflowing file format would be. We are getting there--but it's a lot of work, and there are lots of books to move.

Thank you very much for your interest--university presses are non-profits, and it's hard to find funding to reflow files for already-published books. Knowing there's interest helps us stay on task.)
