Welcome, Franky. Are you using Calibre? It's the best software and it was created by one of our own.

Good to have your company, Frankie. I can't imagine trading in my own 505 for a reader with a larger screen, but with the choices out there now, I guess we're all fortunate to be able to pick the ideal device for ourselves rather than merely choose from limited options as in past years. Good luck in NY. Neil

If you are looking at DR800 then look at Best Buy stores. If you are staying in a hotel then look for one near that. I don't know if Best Buy actually carries them in store or just online.

right, i've got the DR800SG from the States. I can say it's one of my best purchase i.= did for a long time. man, what a cool machine. especially when you do the updates. i even can write in PDF-files. absolute awesome an worth every penny. what is very strange is that in Europe they sell it without 3G for more money. stupid. but i took 3 of them with me...
