I usually love sneaking in a couple of pages of a book on my phone when I have a few minutes to myself, and so was thrilled to learn that I could buy books and download them to my laptop and or phone from this e-book website. The ReaderStore e-books are in a epub format, but just by downloading the Reader by Sony App on your phone you're able to read on the go! I normally hate having to sit there in front of my laptop, so was pleased that there was a phone option available.
The Sony ReaderStore has so many e-books to choose from and the website is very quick and easy to use. I hate having to navigate around a cluttered website, so was pleased to see the Sony ReaderStore had a very simple design and interface with the search button right at the top. And you can start buying books in three easy steps!
1. Register and make an account with the Sony ReaderStore website
2. Need an Adobe ID account (If you have Adobe Digital Editions on your laptop etc, you probably already have an ID)
3. Start Buying.
My first two purchases were Kinslayer by Jay Kristoff and Alaska by Sue Saliba, these were two books I had been highly anticipating for sometime. The books did initially download to my laptop, but once I'd downloaded the Reader by Sony App, I was able to download them to my phone too.

There's also a cool step by step guide when you first start using the app on your phone, so it doesn't take you ages to get used to the navigation. Also there's options to bookmark your page and when you turn the page on your phone, they have a cool flicking sort of motion, so it feels as if you're turning an actual page.

The Sony ReaderStore is a e-book website which I'm glad that I was made aware of, its simple and easy to use and also book lovers like us should have as many different options for us to buy books from available! If you get the time, I do hugely recommend giving this site a go!

Thanks for introducing this one to my attention, Jasprit! I'm always looking out for more websites to buy books on, so I'll definitely be giving this a try this weekend for sure! :)
Oh, now that's pretty darned cool! I'm not a fan of reading on my phone or laptop, though. I've tried but I get too impatient, staring at that screen (especially my phone) that's too small. But yay for new technology that works for you! Love when that happens.
Oh this is cool. I wish I'm into e-books more. Lol.
I haven't heard of this before. Just what I need, another place to buy books. I will check it out.
I'd never heard of this, so thanks for sharing. I need to try and read more e-books.
I'm always looking for new stores to get books. I for one use Google Play occasionally and the Kindle app on my phone but It's always good if you can find new bargains in other places. Thanks for putting this on my radar, Jasprit. :)
I like Sony ReaderStore too but I use Kobo more often. Glad you found something you liked on the store :)
Ooh, I'm loving this post, Jasprit! I haven't heard of this before. Maybe when I get more money, I'll use it and start buying ebooks since they are usually cheaper than physical copies. Thanks for the info!
Thank you for sharing with us, Jasprit. I didn't know about this page.
We could always use more ways of buying books, am I right?! I love that you picked Alaska, I've read another of her books but still need to read Alaska!
