Comments on: Sony Reader Six Months In http://chamberfour.com/2009/07/07/sony-reader-six-months-in/ for readers of books and ebooks Mon, 21 May 2012 00:31:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Nico Vreeland http://chamberfour.com/2009/07/07/sony-reader-six-months-in/comment-page-1/#comment-505 Nico Vreeland Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:36:43 +0000 http://chamberfour.com/?p=3715#comment-505 Hi Uriele, Thanks for checking us out and commenting. I like Calibre, too. The only problem is that it doesn't work with DRMed ebooks. I mostly read contemporary books, which means DRM, unfortunately. I definitely don't use Sony's eBook Library though---Adobe Digital Editions does almost everything with fewer headaches. As for underlining, I honestly think the technology just isn't there yet. The 1000s is your best shot, but it still costs $859, which seems just too exorbitant to me. I'd say wait for the Plastic Logic, at least. Also you can check out our <a href="http://chamberfour.com/ereader-comparison/" rel="nofollow">ereader comparison</a> for more general information on devices. Let me know if you have other questions, Nico Hi Uriele,

I assure you it work perfectly with all of them, you only need to use Calibre (http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/) that is a program far better than Sony's Library (I have an external Hard Disk and I start screaming when I used it with library). I think is a really good reader for his price, but I feel the necessity to take note and underline. I looked for Iliar and Irex1000S, but I can't really understand the difference in the 2 devices. Do you know something about it? Hi,
