Advice needed
Hi All,
I am currently considering purchasing a Sony Librie or Hanlin ebook reader on my visit through China/Japan this week. My main usage would be to use it as a reader for my content which comes through Newsstand.com Can anyone advise if I am able to download newspapers and publications from newsstand to the Sony or Hanlin? Appreciate your inputs. Rgds, Jensen |

I'm pretty sure you can't access the files you downloaded from newsstand.com without the proprietary reader. And the DRM prevents you from copying too.
I had a very bad experience with the DRM of newsstand.com after upgrading my PC. I suspended the account just before the end of my subscription and for some mysterious reason, they refunded whole amount. I can't really complain about their service since I got all my money back but I think their DRM is unnecessarily tough. |

Thanks
Well, it seems that I am not fated to get the Sony just yet. I have dropped some emails to Newsstand.com, but no luck yet. Perhaps, I will have to get my newspaper content from a different source.
