Hello all

I just received my eReader PRS-600 today...it is charging quietly next to me. As I am beginning to load my ebooks library application with my ebook goodies, I realize that I need to register the device with some ebook store.

Some questions for those who may have some knowledge:

1. Do I NEED to register the device?
2. Does registering in one country LOCK me to the store in that country?
3. I am in France, and ordered it from the US. I am automatically directed to the French Sony Bookstore (which is connected to Fnac.com). Can I choose any country, or am I stuck with the French store?
4. If I choose the French store, can I change it later?

Thanks, can't seem to find anything about this (people here are talking about US/UK stores, and I don't seem to be able to figure out how they are able to make the choice in the application).

Thanks a million, Richard
