Hi from South Africa
Hi all

My name is Sam Thurgood, I am from Durban, South Africa. I just received the Sony PRS-505 as a gift, and I have already found this site very helpful.

Thanks to all of you for creating this great online community!

Be well

Sam

Welcome to MR... My parents were going to move to SA, when I was little, but it never happened... I still have a wish to go there on a holiday...

Great. Things at work are very hectic at the moment (beginning of a new school year - I'm a teacher) but when I have a little more time I look forward to socialising a little more and talking books!

P.S. - Lene, it's a great place to come on holiday, I can heartily recommend it!

Cheerio all

Sam

Hi Zee!

Hmmm... I must try to think, as I set it up between 11pm and 3am on a Saturday night/Sunday morning... I received mine as a gift, so it didn't come with the installation cd - I did a couple of online searches to find it - can't now tell you which sites I found.

I loaded all of the software (sony and adobe), and just went ahead and fiddled with the sync until it loaded on. Truth is, most of my books ended up being copied twice (which doesn't really bother me).

I'm sorry that I can't be more specific, I hope this helps!

Sam
