Frequently Asked Questions

What is an eBook?
An eBook is an electronic book which can be read on your computer using Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, or Notepad.

What is a Sony Reader?
A Sony Reader is an electronic book reader. It is a compact, lightweight device that lets you put a library of books in your pocket and take them with you to enjoy. It is handy and portable and holds around 160 books digitally (or several thousand if you insert a Memory Stick Duo™ or SD memory card). Plus, the ink® technology means that the text on the 6-inch screen actually has a print-like quality. An eBook reader is a new way to enjoy and store thousands of eBooks.
