That's fine, but considering the other stuff the same poster was saying, I still suspect a or b. I'm admittedly new to ebooks, but there were some things on the 300 that bugged me so much, that ANYTHING that comes along to allieviate those problems will be a saving grace. for instance, 7 font sizes instead of 3, line spacing, text justification, the ability to orient the screen for right-handed landscape mode, clock, native .doc support, and several others. I don't think it's that great yet, but it's certainly usable. THey need to fix the epub formatting, first and foremost, IMHO. Other stuff is rather secondary.

I do notice that if I move my books into *JUST* The "Books" folder on the root of the drive, my sony firmware sees it just fine, so that's a plus, you don't necessarily have to have "double copies" of everything.

I'd say it's in "beta" quality mode now; I certainly disagree with the "not even alpha" crowd in that regard. I'm rather new to eBooks, but I have a kindle2 and a PRS-300. The kindle2 trounces the PRS-300 in almost every way imagineable, by the way, and it's nothing really to do with the PRS-300's hardware, but rather MUCH better software. I can't wait for the k3 to drop.
