Just bought a PRS-T1, but.....

Just bought a PRS-T1 in Denmark, but it is so "funny":

There is not a black cover for PRS-T1 in the Sony shop (only in white) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no language support for danish (no dictionaries or special characters)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no ebook shop for the danish people (what to do with wifi)!!!!!!!!!!!

Sony acts as a toy company!!!

Helo suppeDK - I'm presuming you are in Denmark .

The UK doesn't yet have a store either, but it is "expected soon". No-one knows quite why it's proving such a battle, but it must be a different proposition to the US one, which has been up for quite a while.

     Regarding your white cover - woh ! I bet that's a bright sight. But, a cover is a cover, so you could look on Ebay, or  similar, even the US - but check on shipping costs, they might be pricey.

If you want a Sony with light, well they're expensive anyway, but you could go for a generic one off the net - just Google Sony T1 covers Denmark and see what pops up. You can then get a little clip-on light, Google same, of which there are a lot on the net.

I don't know about the dictionary problem, but you can certainly download one like a normal book, but perhaps someone else can help ? I will ask around and see if anything can be done.

And as for using wifi, if you have stores that sell ebooks online in Denmark, then you can use wifi to purchase, just like you will when the Sony Store opens - you don't/still won't/aren't to simply have to just use the (coming somewhen) store, but any other supplier.

And there are millions of free books out there - don't know how much is available in Danish, but Project Gutenberg, and the MobileRead Free Library (you keep the books) are major sources. - try there.

Ho[pe this helps.

         Me again - I've found out a bit more about Danish language ebooks.

First, Google it, see what's there.

Plus, sign up to" MobileRead Forums " - very useful tool ayway - and use the Search facility with" Dansih language ebooks" or "Danish language dictionary".

I think you will find it very usefull. You could add "Sony T1" as well come to think about it.

I'm afraid it seems they're expensive !      BUT....there are some free sources apparently...:smileyhappy:

Good luck.

hej suppedk

i am danish but live in the uk. when i buy danish books i get them from saxo.com. every month they have book of the month which is 45kr i think. otherwise i read a lot of books in english bought from kobo.com or get free books that are out of copyright for instance from mobileread.com

danish ebooks are expensive and the selection is not great. for instance jussi adler-olsen refuses to alow his books to be sold as ebooks - very oldfashioned.
