Book resources
I am a very happy new owner of the Portable reader (Thanks to those who pointed out the VISA offer!).
However, after spending a great deal of time reading through these forums, I can't seem to find a basic discussion of commercial resources for Sony reader compatible books. So here are some questions:
1. It appears to me that the two available commercial resources are Sony Connect store and to some degree recently, Fictionwise. Are there others that offer 'native' formats?
2. Now it also appears that some conversion utilities, such as Book Designer, can take books in some other formats and convert to LRF, for Sony reading. Are there commercial resources that would sell books in convertible formats that are 'doable', and is it really easily 'doable'?
3. On the other hand Mobipocket is not able to be converted to Sony readable format because of Digital Rights issues?
4. For example, when I try to find a book such Michael Chabon' recent best seller The Yiddish Policeman's Union, it's not available (in fact not in any ebook format).
Please help me understand these issues, and correct me where I'm wrong.
I really do appreciate all the information many of you have provided, that has led me to buy this device!
