I already own the Sony eReader and it came with a chance to order many dozens of literary classics absolutely free. As a retired professor of English, I've often wanted to add to my collection of books, literally bound volumes, and I've accumulated quite a few, but now with the little Sony gadget I been able to read some of the ones that I've never seen; I have the earlier eBook of Sony which has a capacity of, they say, about 80 books; the newer version, which advertises double that number, is no problem for me with my earlier version because I can plug in a microchip SD card (which my camera also uses) and double the capacity of the Sony. The Sony, itself, is a well-made little machine that is easy to use, but there are a couplell of problems to consider: First of all, a competitive machine, the K-------, I really forgot the name just now, is being promoted by Amazon, and it is somewhat larger because of its keyboard, and some other gadgetry. On the plus side, the Kincaid(have I got it right?) is being pushed as having access to all sorts of eBook sources, from libraries to both free and commercial outlets. Sony, on the other hand, is tight-lipped on this point; when I inquired at their internet store, I was told that only books provided by Sony could be used. I find this hard to believe. Can anyone tell me of another reliable source of eBooks for my Sony?

I recommend you look on eBay. I found five sets of material by just searching for "ebooks DVD Sony reader". People are selling books formatted for either the Amazon Kindle or the Sony reader and perhaps even a third reader. They are already formatted for download to the reader and are sold on DVD media. That should give you a couple of other sources of material to read on the reader.

Will this device take books I download in txt, richtext, Word or PDF? In other words, will it read only books I have to buy from the sellers or will it also read the many on line free books and articles? How easy is downloading and then reading.
