Lack of replies could also be because people like me are not totally confident that we will be the proud owners of an e-book reader by then! Sony say they will be available from 4th Spetember, I've pre-ordered mine from Waterstones and will pick it up from the Trafalgar Square branch when it is there, but I don't know if that will be before the 6th. You never know, if I have it by then I may come along armed with a load of stupid questions.
