Thanks all for your welcome.

I have now installed the software,connected to the Sony store, claimed my $200 credit and downloaded one classic book. Once having exhausted my credit I don't intend to purchase any additional Sony offerings and of course it is currently not possible without a US credit card.

Being mostly interested in Classic titles, I will looking to Project Gutenberg and these excellent forums for the source of most future downloads.

Marc, with respect to your comments, I have also made previous photographic purchases from B & H and have always found their prices and service to be very good. I am successfully resisting the temptation to buy a Canon 40D. Please give me strength !!

Dymocks currently sell ebooks in pdf format which should be (just ?) readable on the Sony. Titles can also be purchased in .lit which after removal of drm can be converted to lrf.

I can't see the fabled Dymock's reader supporting .lit. It would seem unlikely that a manufacturer would produce a custom model to Dymock's specifications for sale in the very small Australian market. It would also be likely to sell at a higher price point than the PRS 505.

But I look forward to be proven wrong.

Denis
