Hi Guys,

I am a Sony 505 owner/user who was in Singapore until the end of January when I moved to Japan. I could not find any e-ink readers in Singapore so purchased the Sony from the US. Delivery was prompt with the only delays at the Singapore side and even then only an additional 2 days.

Regards,
Marcus

Hello from Japan. I just joined this site, and look forward to any info and inspirations you can send my way. Specifically, though, I have these questions to pose:

1. Does anyone have any idea whatsoever if the Kindle will be available in Japan? (I deplore the trend here towards cell-phone etexts. (Maybe it is good, though, for the ophthamologists.))

2. I have a Mac, and the concern is how well an interface would work with Windows-specific readers such as those by Sony, etc.

Thank you, and look forward to your thoughts.

I use Kovid's Libprs500 without any major problems on my Mac. I have sufferred a few crashes but in general have had no problems I consider severe.
