Hi Cassidy and Nat (love the "Gizmologist" moniker)!

I found a tip on the Sony Reader section of the forums that helped me delete ALL THE BOOKS on the Reader (and which wasn't in the manual, I say shaking my head). But I'd love to know if there's a way to delete just ONE or TWO books from the Reader itself? When I tried deleting individually, the ones tagged "synchronized" wouldn't delete. And I don't know how to disable the synchronization doohickey for individual books. Any links to threads dealing with that?

At least now I have 10 books in my Reader instead of the unwieldy 30+ that I had in there.

I do find the battery isn't lasting as long as I thought it would. It drained 1/3 in a matter of days and I know I didn't have more than around 250 page turns, because I wasn't reading much.

I am trying to keep it charged (every other day or so).

Thanks for the welcome and the pointers. I will keep strolling through the forums, though, not having a lot of tech-language under my belt, some of the stuff leaves me scratching my head.

But, hey, ONE problem sorta sorted out. Yay.

I did notice someone mention BAEN. I'm a charter subscriber to Baen's Universe--an SF fan--so I will want to look at those downloads.
