Hi! New user!
I decided to buy myself a Sony PRS-700 for Christmas as I'm an avid reader and I can't keep adding new bookcases. I live in fear of the floor caving in. :-)
One thing I haven't yet come across in the forums is the issue of copyright. I noticed that some books say they're okay to download from Canada and other books just have a readme link. How does one find out if a book is under copyright in one's country or if the author has given permission for people in a country to get the ebook? I do love my eBook reader so far and this has been an extremely helpful forum! Victoria |

I wondered if copyright would be a "can of worms" and I almost expected the response but I still held out hope there was a magic wand somewhere. :-)

Hello and welcome! Can't help you with copyright stuff, I don't understand any of it.
