   Open your microsoft word document, go to the file menu and choose “save as” and then select “rich text” in the save file type section. This will make a .rtf file that will load onto a Sony reader just fine.

   I don’t think it does html. You can extend its memory with those little memory cards. I’m not sure what the inbuilt memory is. Sorry. I usually have 2 or 3 dozen books on mine at any given time. I delete most files when I’m done with them, but that’s a personal choice.

   Absolutely. That’s exactly what I do. People with all kinds of devices and computers read my ebooks. You save your text in formats that suit ebook readers. The Sony handles LRF, PDF, and rich text word docs among others.

   As long as your documents are not restricted by some form of digital rights management, you can load them from your computer on to the Sony reader if they are in formats that the reader can display, like LRF, PDF, epub, RTF, and maybe some others.

    Say for example I have some books downloaded on my computer as well as some university books. Is it easy to just move those books over to the device?

    Cool Review, I …
    Cool Review, I really want one of these as I have many ebooks, and the Psp is kinda small to read them comfortably. I am hoping the prce goes down as they are like £220. I hope it goes down to £100-150 as this would be cool to have, as you can use it practically anywhere and its cheaper option than buying books.

    The mark button is the Bookmark button on the lower left. I know it’s not terribly clear but that is what you push when you use the delete book utility and it says “press mark to delete.”

    nice review indeed!
    really unnecessary those buttons on the right. just one navigator menu-option button would be enough.
    it would be nice if someone skilled makes improvements such as a built-dictionary, a reading voice, calender, crosswords, agenda… imagine that? just in that case, sony ereader would be worth. 250-370 buks is still a lot of money for just a 6″ gray screen.
    wireless is also unncesary. what is the big deal? purchasing bad books on internet for 10 bucks?

    Yes, it does. PDFs sometimes reflow a little weird, but for the most part they are OK. The LRF and RTF formats work better.

    That is the town where Gerard Butler was born. Do you like it there? I like in a horrid little town called Sturgeon Falls in Canada. Far too many drugs for my liking, but I am leaving here in September for University.
