Sony Reader & PDF, EPUB

 

Sony Reader is a line of eBook readers intended for reading digital publications of a variety of formats, similar to the Amazon Kindle. All versions of Sony Reader are compatible with several digital publication file types, including the popular EPUB eBooks, and some newer PDFs. But some older PDFs may not display properly if they are not created to PDF5 standard.

Sony eBook Reader now uses Adobe Digital Editions (sort of Adobe Acrobat Reader) to help people read PDF files. However, colored illustrations in PDF ebooks, magazines and technical manuals will only appear in black and white. Therefore, many users prefer to convert PDFs to EPUB format, which help to get content in smaller file sizes and read PDF content in a more enjoyable style.
