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

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.

I just got an ebook reader for christmas, and though the sony ebook site has a lot of material, it doesn't have everything I', looking for. Can I download eBook from other sites and still read them on the sony reader?

Sony Reader will read any .lrf (that's their format, the same as you get from their site, except the copy-protected ones are .lrx), .epub (with the firmware update), .pdf, .rtf, and .txt files.

PDF is by far the easiest to acquire; .epub is the most common & best-featured ebook format for portable readers. The Sony Reader will read any PDF--but most of them are formatted in a way that makes them hard to read; using the "M" and "L" options loses the formatting, but only some books are easy to read that way. (It's fine for novels; bad for charts & tables & anything with pictures.)

You can get free ebooks from http://www.manybooks.net and http://www.feedbooks.com, along with several other sites; feedbooks even has PDFs size-formatted for reading on the Sony Reader. And Mobileread.com has thousands of free ebooks, plus forums and a wiki that can help you figure out what's available and whether stuff the Reader can't read can be converted.

If there was a way for me to get all the books I already own onto a Kindle or Sony Reader I would get one now. What about you?
(I just want to know if you would, I don't want to know why it isn't an option or how they would do it if they chose to do so)
I'm glad for the answers so far. Let me clarify that you would be able to download all of the books you own now for free.
