Will HanLin eBook allow me to read books from resources i mentioned? What about Sony? As i understood , i need to use their connect website to download content for some fee, right?
Is it very tough to transform doc, pdf, txt to WOLF format in V2? If not , why you say Sony is better then V2 HanLin eBook ?

Thanks in advance
I cannot say how good the V2 is vs the Sony Reader. But I can say that as far as getting books from Project Gutenberg and converting to read on the Sony, it's not hard at all. We have some excellent tools to use to do the job such as Book Designer. html2lrf, and pielrf. I've converted a few books and it was not hard at all to do. Plus, with the support for such good tools here and the already converted free books, I'd say that makes the Sony the winner in my eyes.
