Sony eBook Store version 3.0 software now available for Apple and Windows

I was just reading my friend Lisa's first thoughts and video of the Sony Reader Touch Edition (PRS-600) and saw she mentioned the new Sony eBook Store 3.0 software would be available this Thursday or Friday. Well, Sony surprised us with an early release and if you go visit the eBook Store download site you will find both Mac and PC downloads for the latest 3.0 version. I downloaded it onto my MacBook Pro and downloaded all of my purchased content to my MBP too since I like to burn a backup DVD of my purchases.

I was just reading my friend Lisa's first thoughts and video of the Sony Reader Touch Edition (PRS-600) and saw she mentioned the new Sony eBook Store 3.0 software would be available this Thursday or Friday. Well, Sony surprised us with an early release and if you go visit the eBook Store download site you will find both Mac and PC downloads for the latest 3.0 version. I downloaded it onto my MacBook Pro and downloaded all of my purchased content to my MBP too since I like to burn a backup DVD of my purchases.

As stated on the Sony eBook Store site you can: * Shop thousands of eBook titles including New York Times Bestsellers. * Take your library with you by transferring to your Sony Reader. * Read eBooks on your PC or Mac with adjustable text and two-page view. * Search inside your collection of eBooks. * Borrow books from your library (library card required).

The software is pretty basic looking on the Mac and doesn't have the visual flair I expected for an Apple product, however it gets the job done and if I can use my Mac to sync and manage content I may not even need the larger Sony Reader Daily Edition I am seriously thinking about purchasing.
