Thanks, Nolan. I installed Blue Fire and it works - sort of. I successfully authorized it as a reader for Adobe epub DRM documents. However, following the instructions, I was able to load a file into the sharing window for Blue Fire in iTunes, but the book did not transfer into my iPod. The iPod flashed a syncing message very briefly, but no book appeared on the iPod. Once, about 5 minutes after I used iTunes to add a book, it appeared and I was able to read it. Since I had already read that book, I deleted it. That worked fine. When I tried to load a book I hadn't yet read, the book never appeared on my iPod even though the iPod appeared to transfer the file. It is possible that the transfer is just very slow, but it's been at least 30 minutes and still no book.

Either Blue Fire is not ready for prime time or I am doing something wrong. Looking at the reviews, it appears that at least a few users are using it to read their Sony ebooks. Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to try deleting Stanza in case that helps. If it does, I'll post back here to let folks know.
