My sister and I always share books - one of us buys one, and gives it to the other one to read, and then I sell it on eBay. A salesman from Best Buy said that if we buy a Sony, we can put both of our devices on an account, and then we can both read the books we buy. Is Sony the only company that offers this type of account? And if one of us buys a Sony and the other one a Nook, can the Nook be put on the Sony account, or is it proprietary to Sony readers (provided the format is recognized on both devices, of course)?
Also, if one of us buys a Nook, which allows us to lend one time (provided the publisher allows a one-time share), can we lend it to a Sony ereader? Or can we only lend it to another Nook?
One last question - if I buy a Sony and want to convert all of my recipes, which are separate .docs, is it time consuming to put them into a Sony, because don't I have to run them through some kind of program?
Any help/advice you can give us would be appreciated.

I don't own a Sony, so can't address how their store works specifically. But if you and your sister both get readers that support ADE ePUB, you can register both readers on the same ADE account and you will be able to share any secure ePUB books you buy (from any ebook store). You can do the same thing with the Kindle store at Amazon.com if you buy Kindles, but since that is tied to an Amazon account it might not be a good solution.
