Sony Ebook Reader Cyrillic Support
I realize that it may be better manners to start my own thread rather than hijack someone else's; so here goes.I have a ton of public-domain e-books, mostly in.txt format. About half of them are in Russian, so one of my basic requirements for a reader is that it should be able to display Cyrillic text.
I'm not really interested in DRM'd e-books, because I got burned on that once already; I've got a whole bunch of PalmReader-formatted books (.pdb, encrypted with my credit-card number) that I cannot read on any other device. But if any of the existing e-readers can read encrypted.pdb files, I'd prefer those.Can some of the experts here recommend an e-reader? Based on my own cursory research thus far, I like the BeBook the best - but I'm not sure I fully know what I'm talking about.

I don't actually mind converting to PDF (as mentioned, my ebooks are TXT files so it's easy to convert them to any format), but I do have some significant repetitive-stress injury issues, so ergonomics is a big deal for me.The Sony has buttons on the bottom left as well as on the right side to change pages. Also, The Sony can be turned to landscape mode for every format. The Cybook only for PDF format. However, as of April the Cybook will have epub and PDF reflow like the sony.
Hopefully, it will be able to be viewed in Landscape mode as well from then.Either way they are both good readers and easy for turning pages. Just an extra option or two on the Reader. I recommend both. I've got a whole bunch of PalmReader-formatted books (.pdb, encrypted with my credit-card number) that I cannot read on any other device. But if any of the existing e-readers can read encrypted.pdb files, I'd prefer those.You can read your eReader ebooks on many device types, but not currently on Linux (and so not on EInk devices). There will be EInk devices supporting eReader DRM 'soon'. It is likely that EZ Reader (US Hanlin V3) will be one, but it may be worth waiting until the software is actually available before counting on it.The other option, not legal in all places, is to use ereader2html to strip the DRM and then Calibre (say) to convert to LRF or ePub or MOBI.
Then you choice of device is independent of eReader. I am kicking myself for having spent that much money on DRM'd books that I can't read on the devices I want to read them on. I live in a place where circumventing copy-protection measures is illegal, so I cannot take advantage of the software that's available. (I am in law school, and I'd rather not do anything that would get me disbarred) But I do, thankfully, at least have the option of expressing my disapproval of the DMCA by not buying any more DRM-locked books.At the risk of starting a thread that has been discussed many times here.
You are finding out now, what a lot of people might find out in a few years when their kindles start breaking. They will find that they are limited to where and how they can read their books.-Bill.
Before You Start. Follow the update instructions carefully. Using this software with the PRS-500 requires firmware version 2.0. This application will not uninstall nor does it require the uninstallation of Reader Library, though it's recommended that you uninstall that application.
