Electronic bookreaders

I want to get a Sony reader digital book. I would like to know if you like it for the people who has this device.

It's okay, I'd go with the Amazon Kindle though. I've had both, and would say I got more out of the Kindle.

NY1 report on the Sony e-book Reader

If I connect a Sony Book Reader to an iMac via a USB cable, will the Reader show up as an icon on the desktop? Then, if I have an existing Word document saved as a txt or rtf file, can I simply drag it onto the icon and then have it readable in the Reader? If not, can I insert a memory card into the Reader and then drag the Word document into that?

I see that sony has not listed these gadgets in their India site. Where can I get a E-book reader? And how much does one cost me?

Sony has limited the countries in which it will sell the PRS series ebook readers. Fortunately, there are other companies that make ebook readers.

I've found the MobileRead website very helpful.

I just learned that i am getting the Kindle from my husband for christmas.(so excited) Anyway i was looking at the add for target and came across the digital reader from sony. Does anyone know what the difference is??? If so which one is better then??? thanks( although i am keeping the Kindle -its from my husband.)

In addition to the advantages mentioned by the other posters, the Kindle has on more major one - the selection available. Amazon currently offers about 185,000 titles in Kindle format, and they're adding more all the time. The last time I checked, the Sony only had about 20,000 titles available. With that much selection available, you can pretty much guarantee always having something to read that you will enjoy.

Thanks however I have tried to buy through amazon but they won't ship the item to Australia.

Go here:

scroll to the bottom of the page and do a search in the amazon.com box for Sony Book Reader PRS 505. You'll get several options, new and used, I checked, they have it new in stock.
