Can you put a Word document on a sony e-book reader?

Okay so i wrote a book, unpublished as of yet, but i was wondering if, before i buy one, you can put just normal word documents onto the sony e-book reader. anyone have any insight for me?

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

How to convert pdf document formatted as 8.5x11 into 6x9 ebook format to easily read on sony ebook reader?

Depends on the original PDF. Sometimes it's as simple as cropping out the whitespace in the margins (which Acrobat Pro can do, or some freeware programs).

If the original fills most of the letter-sized page, cropping or resizing won't work. The options are:

use a program to convert it to something else (like a Word doc or an HTML file), and then edit that, and convert that back into a PDF at the new size, or

Make sure it's got accessibility tags, and read it on the Sony on larger than the "S" setting; the M or L settings might reflow the text to a readable size. (This won't work if it's got too much formatting in the original, or if there are hard returns at the line breaks.)
