I've only had mine a week. But I've not seen the first feature.. No defining words. The second question is a yes. All I do is hook it up with the provided USB cord and they give you a cd to install so you can buy ebooks or transfer ebooks from your computer. So far I have only transfered pdfs. You can also buy a AC adapter if you don't use or are away from your computer to charge. It also has two SD card slots on the top. You can load books on it and do it that way. They are two different sizes so you can use any kind of SD card. I think with all of these readers, they are VERY delicate. Mine is going in for repairs soon. My daughter pulled something off a shelf and the ebook reader went with it. So its frozen right now. The service center is closed today so can't do anything until monday. If you are curious about their service policies, give me a day or two and I'll give you a review. So far I wanna smack them. But I think that is everywhere. If you are looking into the Kindle, ask amazon if they have a restocking fee if you don't like it and want to return it. Because Sony has one and it can be expensive to return one. Best Buy and Circuit city are known for this too.
Hope that helps. jeanette ________________________________ From: D Arbor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: ArmchairReaders2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 25, 2008 11:35:30 PM Subject: Re: [ArmchairReaders2] Kindles/Sony I am not familiar with this. Does it also define unknown word upon request? Does it function independently of a computer? If this is comparable I may go this route as well. Thanks in advance.

But after alot of research I finally settled on a sony ebook reader 505 because I can upload my own ebooks to it instead of buying them online. Plus the reviews were so much better. I asked for it for my birthday (the 31st) and my dad bought it for me. It was cheaper than the kindle and the sonystyle website offers free shipping. I love this thing plus I have the best dad. Who else would buy me a 300 gift at the age of 27? lol I've been reading the Sisters of the Moon Series by Yasmine Galenorn. I finished book 1 The Witchling and am now half way through the send book, The Changeling. I'll have to find the third book after that. Very good books by the way if you like paranormal fantasy books. :) ________________________________ From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: ArmchairReaders2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 25, 2008 9:06:33 AM Subject: Re: [ArmchairReaders2] Kindles That's the one they are talking about.
