Sony PSP has some kind of input method like for typing web address etc. That 's without the use of any external keyboard. I think BobVa is right; sony can do that of thing for Reader for search capability.

I started to enter your wishes into the Wiki.
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Sony_Reader_Wishlist Just add your wishes there and continue to use this thread for discussion, and let's see what will get realized by Sony. |

RTF picture support for me. It would make RTF the best of all the formats. Quick to load, easy on the eye, resizable and easily available standard

How's about CHM support? There are a lot of Help files in this format, plus page structure is flexible.

I find buying books and not being able to share them with friends a real limit to EBook's success (the wife brought this up first after using the Connect store). With iTunes you can burn a CD of your bought tracks and share it with friends.
A suggestion would be to have something like a 'lending' capability for EBooks you've bought for a limited number of named friends on the Connect store so they could read them for say 60days? I also find the lack of a BBeB creating tool really limiting for the Sony Reader, I hope, as mentioned above, something soon comes out from Sony. |

You can read one book on up to 6 devices same time. Probably by deauthorizing PC/Reader of one friend who alredy read the book, you can "give" it to another.

If it is 6 devices total, what is the point of de-authorization ?-)
You can also land books to the friends. |

I was also under the impression that you can have up to 6 authorized, and the book can be read on any of them (even at the same time). And then you could swap out with another device by deauthorizing.
Is that not correct? In other words, are we really saying that at any given time, even if 6 are authorized, the book can only be on one reader at a time? How would that work? You could just pass the file to an SD card, right? And we know that in addition to the Reader, you can read it on the PC which is one of the devices. |

Yep, I think that's right on. You can probably only share Connect store books across Readers authorized to the same specific account. And I am pretty sure that each Reader device can only be authorized under one account at a time.

Oi! That'll each me to log off early!
Okay, here's the deal, I apologize in advance 'cause it's a bit complicated A Reader can only be authorized on a single account -- when we were out at Sony, Bob, you might remember (don't know if you saw it or not) that one of the units they showed us wouldn't authorize to the Connect Store, because it was already authorized on another account. Gave a message that basically said that: already authorized to another account, or something similar. That much I'm quite certain about. My understanding is that a given book can only be read on up to 6 devices (one of which must be the downloading PC). Yes you can de/authorize Readers (and PC's for that matter), but once you hit six that have been authorized for a given book (even if they've since been deauthorized) it'll balk at letting you put that book on the seventh. You'll have to call and get them to reset the device count on the books. That's what I understood to be the way it works: 6 books at a time, with a manual 'reset' process. I'm pretty sure I understood it correctly, but I suppose it is possible that they've changed it, though I haven't seen any indications to that effect. A couple of old posts that explain it a bit better. Last edited by NatCh; 10-16-2006 at 11:28 AM. |
