can you ad extra memory to it

[hector4464]

@davidbuglass you can’t on the PRS-300, but the PRS-500 does have slots for both memory stick and SD cards. You would need a lot of books to fill up the storage on the 300 though!

Im thinking of getting one of these soon how good is it with Adobe PDF files? Ive heard it cant zoom in on them and may be a big hindrance

[hector4464]

@someonewhogivesadamn i find it does work pretty well with PDF files, and the zoom does work, the only thing is if the PDF is image heavy itll try and move them around to format the text correctly :)

can you put pictures on the 300 and view books by thumbnail. THanks good review

[hector4464]

you cant put just still images on the reader. The only images that you can display are ones that are in the books themselves, and theres no way to show books by thumbnail, just text views :)

I liked the video--most extensive review of the Sony PRS-300 I found. But I am stuck. I don't know what "sync it up means." I bought 2 books on my desktop computer from the e-Reader Store but I can't figure out how to download them into my Reader.

Any help would be appreciated.

Excellent review. I'm getting a used one. Would that be a concern as to the battery life?

Has anyone been able to get the Sony Reader Library to recognize the actual reader on a Mac? I've everything in the troubleshooting section of the manual and I still can't get Sony's software to recognize the reader. I've given up and downloaded Calibre, which is awesome, but I would still like Sony's software to work.

Have you found anywhere to download ebooks for your PRS 300 at the same price as you can get them for the Kindle? I did a quick search and found Kindle books to be half the price of the Sony versions (with Kobo being the cheapest for ebooks).

@TS7019 From what I understand "most" of the ebooks in the B&N store are ePUB format, so they would work. Kobo (Borders) ebooks are 100% ePUB, so they would definitly work. Check your file extensions (look for .epub, .pdf, .rtf, .txt, and i believe .html).
