Sony and IPod touch...how disappointing
I have purchased books that I have purchased (vs borrowed from library) from several places including B&N, Kobo, Amazon and Sony store. I just got an IPod Touch 4G a few days ago and I was able to download apps for everything EXCEPT the Sony Store! So I can get all my books EXCEPT borrowed and those purchased in the Sony store on my IPod Touch.

Very disappointed that Sony can't seem to work it out to get us an App when apparently all other Ebook stores have....esp since quite a few of my purchases have taken place in the Sony store

Any other way I can get my Sony purchased books and mags onto my Ipod touch?

Sony's books use standard Adobe Adept DRM so you should be able to read thm with Bluefire.

If it's jailbroken, then go with txtr as Bluefire crashes iOS when you exit if jailbroken.

I just installed the free 'Backgrounder' (via Cydia) and that solved the crashing when you exit Bluefire.

@kelliedn - It's just a bit more hassle (having to transfer books via the computer) but it's possible to read the Sony books via Bluefire (or txtr). I do that on my iTouch and it works well.
