Steve if you wish to get an ebook from borders to test, do a search for a public domain book and then sort by price. You should be able to find a free book you dont have and upload it that way (say Through the Looking Glass, to go with Alice in Wonderland).
Glad to hear it arrived, hmm 9 days, thats not bad for borders
Dont forget to get Calibre for those online news resources (such as Time, the Age etc)
