I am interested in buying one, but would like to know, if I would have to buy books from specific sites, or can I simply transfer ebooks from my computers hard drive onto the device to read it like a book.
-Thanks.
I own a Sony PRS-505 and am absolutely in love with it. Before, you had to use the proprietary Sony Ebook store, which only US residents could use, so that was a problem for me since I am located in Australia, but there's recently been a firmware update which makes it possible to buy secure Adobe and EPub files from other ebook sites.
Also, if the files that you have in your computer are .txt and .rtf or .pdf you can just load them to the reader with no prob. You just can't read mobipocket, Microsoft reader files and other proprietary files like that.
