Is there a way to save a page from a pdf e-book separately?


I was reading an e-book and found one page really interesting which I would like to share with my friends and keep for my future reference.

Is there any software available so I can download ebooks from Amazon to my Sony PRS-300 reader?


Got a Sony PRS-300 reader, notice that it seems only to allow ebooks from Waterstone’s, W H Smiths and Borders to be downloaded. I regularly buy books through Amazon, so can I download ebooks from them also, or is it a matter of conflicting downlaod formats. If so, is there any software available to enable me to download them into a format that my Sony reader can handle?

How can I create a graphic image to sell an e-book? ?


I see that other people selling e-books have images of a book, even though there is no actual physical book. It is electronic. How do they create a graphic image that looks like a real book with the name of their e-book on it and some artistic design?
