Sending books to the reader - wireless?
Hello there,

which reader should I buy when I want to send my books onto the reader without an usb connection? Just wireless?

Best regards,
compukortschnoi

It's not quite as easy as the previous reply imply. If you mean books bought at the book store tied to the device, then yes, any WiFI enabled device will do it for you.
If you intend to buy books at more than one store, download free book for example here at MR place or borrow library books it's a bit more to it.
I transfer with USB, so I can't tell you more about it though.

The Kobo Touch has a browser so I use that to go to my dropbox account and can download books that way. So I would think that any other reader with a web browser could do this.

Keeping books on Dropbox works with DRM free books. That's part of what I mean with "a bit more to it". Do-able though!

As far as I know, the Amazon Kindle is the only reader to which one can email personal documents over the wifi. The docs go through Amazon's servers. That is the only way I put books on my Kindles.

You can email books to your Kindle for free. This means that you can send books from Mobile Read, books you buy at other stores, books you have removed the DRM for to your Kindle wirelessly.

I believe that the Kindle is the only e-reader with that feature.
