Hi Kurt, et al,
it would seem the TB excels at weirdness: my wife's TB would not allow her to open a DRM'd pdf novel until after she connected to the web (with her TB) while it was plugged-in to her PC. (Discovered by accident!) My (used, and previously ADE registered) TB worked like a charm... go figure.
It further takes the shine off what could be a pretty good device.
As an aside, already, I feel apathetic about picking up a printed novel for it just seems... dunno... archaic? Mentioned this to my wife yesterday, and she said that I should probably take my library books back (early for a change

).
Take care everyone.
