I am on the very cusp of hitting the "BUY" button on a Sony Reader. One remaining question, though:

What kind of software interface does the Sony have with the computer? I would prefer an arrangement where the Reader appeared to the computer as a mass storage device, and just let me use Windows File Exporer to drag and drop. I suspect, however, that there is some manner of interface software required? Is it huge? Is it unwieldly? Is it real pushy like some other types of interface software that get under the hood of your operating system and take over everything?

Thanks to a current owner who take the time to answer this middling question.
