wirelessly downloading from Kobo?
Is it possible to purchase and download books from the Kobo site wirelessly? Has anyone here done so?

Probably better to ask in the Kobo forum.

Why? I have a Sony PRS-T1, and it seemed logical to ask owners of Sony Readers if they have wirelessly downloaded books from a site such as Kobo.

My apologies, I saw Device: None in your profile and presumed you were asking about Kobo readers, not just the store.

I have bought and downloaded from Kobo using my T1, so yes, it works if it is a book that you can download as epub. Some books can only be read on the website or the kobo reader but the ones that have a download link can go to your reader with no problems at all.

That's good to know. I tried to download wirelessly from Kobo and failed. However, when I downloaded the same book to the Reader software on my PC I could then transfer it to the T1. So I'll try again to do it directly and see if I have better luck.
