How to Read eBooks on PS3

An ebook, short for "electronic book," is a book that you can read using a computer or device that supports Internet browsing. Some people find it more comfortable to read books on a television screen than to hold a book. While the PS3 does not support PDF files, which is the main file format used for ebooks, you can use another method to read ebooks on a PS3. Manybooks, a website that hosts thousands of ebooks, also hosts ebooks specifically for use by PSP and PS3 users, and can be accessed using the PS3 Internet browser.
