Newspapers? I know that certain newspapers are available on the Kindle, what about newspapers for the Sony Readers?

If you use calibre (free/donationware), you can add any RSS feed you want, including the NY Times subscription. It has about 75 feeds to choose from right now and you can also hook it up to your Google Reader account.The downside is that unlike the Kindle, it's not instant and you have to connect to your computer. I haven't really had an issue with this though - I just have calibre scheduled to download the feeds every day and transfer them duriing my lunch hour :)

I'd agree about calibre. Just google it and you'll find it. It is fantastic and really great at doing the news thing. I wake up each morning, and my Sony reader is automatically synced and ready for me to read the news of my choosing.

There are Kindle versions and Adroid versions. Download the Android version if available. Kindle versions may or may not work, but you won't break it if you try.

Thanks Carol D. That's exactly what I wanted to know. I've seen demo's on the Stanza and Kindle apps. Now I just need to head to an Apple store and see if I can read on the thing. Thanks!

Android devices have the capability of reading ebooks. Many public libraries also offer free ebook services and walk you step-by-step through this process.

Go to the Android Play store and search for ebook readers. In short, yes, you have dozens of choices for a variety of formats plus Kindle and other proprietary formats, PDF and a variety of open ebook formats. The only hardware aspect is this has a great screen.

Yes. You can download the Kindle app from the Google Play. I don't know anything else about any other documents but, if you mean primarily books, this tablet will let you read them.

Can Sony delete books off their e-readers? I don't think they can or do. So that's one major advantage it has over Kindle, sadly. I really wanted a Kindle, but until this mess is sorted out with 1984, I'm going to stick with less controlled systems. I guess I'll have to live without whispernet, which I think sounds like a killer feature if it isn't used against me.

Yes you can. It is really nice to read the books on it too!! Though I still like the Kindle because it is smaller and lighter!!

The Sony e-Reader will work just fine. I travel a great deal and sometimes stay at a place with only dial-up connection. I managed to download books to my Sony e-Reader with dial-up. With the broadband speed at home in the US, it usually takes less than 10 seconds to download a regular size paperback, with dial up it took >2min, slow, but tolerable. (Hey, 2 min is still faster than going to the store).BTW, you can transfer books back and forth between e-Reader and computer, and do not need to store all your e-books in the e-Reader.

I have 1 magazine subscription thru Kindle on Le Pan 970, and is nicely formatted. I also have a newspaper subscription. It's not in an e-edition format. Instead Kindle newspaper editions are formatted like a book would be. Usually missing from any Kindle newspaper would be comics, ads, sports score boxes, and some of the graphics. This format makes it to easier to read on the smaller screen.

I'm new to ereaders and can not decide between the kindle vs sony. Of course, I would prefer sony due to netlibrary, but I find that site confusing. Plus you can use sony for the public domain books on google. But then I'm so used to amazon and kindle seems to be so much simpler to use. My question to sony ereaders--how hard is it to get used to using netlibrary and google books? Can you get what you want using the sony? I really can not decide and at this point am about ready to give up and just not get an ereader.

You cannot use the books in sony propietary formats. I suggest you try first to convert them to the EPUB format, using Calibre for example. The kobo can read EPUB and PDF.

No, the Nook only supports EPUB and PDF files. Kindle books are made for Kindle, which I believe has its own unique file format created by Amazon. The Kindle also supports PDFs, though.

Hail'O Sandra ~ Yes, you certainly can....there are some free Android Aps available here on amazon.com that will allow you to access and use the Kindle book files.

Hello Dan,Thank you for your interest in the Trio Droid! There is an Amazon app store on the device. I'm sure you can get a Kindle app that would allow you to download e-books. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
