    Sony e-book reader can support Microsoft Word files, as you can see in the technical details section here:

    However, I’ll suggest you to have the Amazon Kindle if you’re considering to buy an ebook reader. Not only the Kindle can read Word document, but also it can give you much wider selection of content. I remember I read these reviews when I decided to get my Kindle 2:

    And in case you don’t know, Amazon has put a price slash on the Kindle 2 and it is now $100 cheaper than the price I got mine. So it is definitely a better buy.

    Hope it helps :)

    I think many ebook readers support Word document. Hm… but will you consider the Amazon Kindle?

    Here is a review about it, written by a person who is a writer as well:

    Yes, you can. Sony Reader can read word documents (DOC file), as you can see in their sales page.

    Before you make up your decision, I’ll suggest you to read this article. It is written by a person who has tried both Sony Reader and Amazon Kindle, and it is the best review I’ve ever read:
