Is there any way to open a Word or PDF file on a cell phone? I want to use my phone for a e-book reader.?
Lettore-04

I have a Sony Ericcson w300i and I would like to be able to use it as an e-book reader if possibe. I would even be open to buying software if it's available but would prefer free. Thanks!


Typically PDA style cellular phones are capable of this feature, and typically requires the purchase of a 3rd party application. Your phone will likely not support this feature as it is basically a straight cellular phone, and not a PDA style phone like a Treo or BlackBerry.

My BlackBerry's will support this feature with the purchase of a 3rd Party app.

Hope this helps.

Lettore-11

I've downloaded the e reader for my iphone 3g but now how do I download books for it?? I'm looking for janet evanovich if that matters


open e reader, search library, find a title by alphabetical order or author, tap it, and it will download.

does anyone know if Sony is planning to make a new E-reader?
Lettore-19

the last one came out on september 2007. and there are a lot of things they can improve. i can hardly wait for the next generation.

if not, does anyone know of another e-reader that supports html, pdf, txt, doc, rtl, and perhaps lit? with no DRM!
the kindle doesen't do that but are there any others?


The 2 sites below explain everything

Which should I buy? an Ipod touch, a Sony e-Reader or an ASUS Mypal PDA?
Lettore-16

I originally intend it for ebook reading, the ipod touch and asus PDA are all capable of reading PDF but the screens are smaller compared to Sony e-Reader (i don't intend to buy Amazon's Kindle, am outside of USA). On the other hand, the other functionalities of the ipod itouch and the PDA are also a plus, which the Sony e-Reader doesn't have.

Software Will Be the E-Reader's Kingmaker PC Magazine

.But the screen is only one part of what it will take to make a successful market here. I'm convinced that, as in most cases these days, it's the software that will drive the hardware and determine the eventual winners and losers in this market.

That's where the Sony Reader and Amazon Kindle have had such a big lead over all their competitiors to date. The E-ink technology had been out for a while, but it took Sony to make the device commercial, and Amazon to wirelessly link the device with its online store; and that combination helped make this a real market.The Kindle had the initial advantage of a much bigger store, but almost every e-reader you see has access to an online store of some sort.

Clearly, the store is still important. Amazon is pushing its own, as are Barnes and Noble (with the Nook) and Sony.Nearly all the Android-based devices have access to Google Books (typically for older, public domain titles titles), but several have content partnerships with Barnes
