Is there any way to read their books without the actual sony ereader hardware?
They've had free books before, but I didn't bother, as I could not see any way to read them. |

Free sony reader software here:
http://ebookstore.sony.com/downloadclient.html This includes an emulators, so that you can read the book on your computer. (Click the little square at the bottom of the screen and you get a very nice double-page view.) |

Thanks Patricia - that worked (after a couple of retries at the Sony end to create an account - for those interested, you can skip the billing info setup, so you don't have to give them your CC# right away) and I was able to download this week's freebie. Looks like they will be giving a book away every week this month.
