I finally got my Sony digital reader working! I'm not much of a computer wiz .... so I took it last week to Sony at Thajeej and they did their magic there. Still I had trouble buying ebooks from major online book stores such as Amazon, B&N and ebooks (which I used to buy ebooks from in the past) even Sony!!! they do not sell ebooks in our region anymore. I was royally pissed!
Anyhow... stubborn me spent two days trying to upload books the "Kindle" way...from the site to the D'reader. It didn't work... :( so I resigned myself to do it the primitive way...yes primitive! with all the advancement going on in the world...I'm reduced to still upload books on the memory card!!! Well at least I got something to read...and saved upto $600 on book shipment fees...
It is very light to carry around... the reading font is like reading a book... the only thing I found myself doing is wanting to turn the page with my hand ;p
Still nothing beats the smell of paper and a heavy paperback in your hands!
You should try the iBooks in the iPad. It's a great e-reader:)
