For the rest, that works all right.
So Sony's app doesn't work under WINE. That's good to know. But if it appears as a USB drive, I should be able to copy books to it, right?

Yeah. I'm with you. The more open a device is, the more it appeals to me.

On that note, my understanding is that if I buy a DRM epub book via my PC and then copy the file to my eReader's disk, I'll be able to read it. Is that right? How do you prove you paid for it? Is there a key? Or do you give your eReader's ID number or something?
