In terms of large books. Both Anna Karenina and War and Peace were from the Connect store and loaded through the eBook Library. Has any one else had any performance problems with very large books? |

The 1.0 release is available for Mac (PPC & Intel native) and Windows (XP, Vista, and Windows 2000). And today at the O'Reilly Tools of Change conference we are also demonstrating a desktop Linux version that will be in public beta soon. Mobile/device support is also coming, as evidenced by our announcement today that Sony wil be incorporating Digital Editions capabiliities, including EPUB and Adobe DRM support, into the Sony Reader product line. http://blogs.adobe.com/billmccoy/200..._delivers.html BOb |

I have found that the memory stick doesn't seem to drain the battery quite as quickly as the SD card I tried, but they could probably do a little better as far as how the cards affect battery life. Except for glitches where my Reader all of the sudden loses all of my collections & needs to be re-loaded I'm quite happy with it & it does "just work" at least for me (although folders would be nice I think). |

It generally does exactly that, but evidently a big enough or complicated enough set of images will crash it. I have personally seen plain RTF files (no images, I mean) that were big enough to make my 500 choke. The 505 is supposed to handle them better, but I guess it probably has its choke limit too.

Some things bear repeating.

As others have said, you can avoid the delay altogether by loading the book onto your Sony via the "Connect" software - it will do the pagination for you in advance. |

I'd expect the 505's limit to be a bit higher, if only because it has more memory to work with, but I don't know the answer "for real" either.
