I like the 505 from an engineering stand point (more or less...its sooo sleak and Metal is Good) but the book buying via connect is a sould sucking DRAG. I wish Sony would just...stop...making...bad...software. Please. Now.

And if the Connect music store is any indication...the connect bookstore doesn't have a future.

I'm not...feeling the joy at $400 to Amazon, especially when I'm getting that Nintendo "we can't make enough of them!" vibe...the whole "you'll get one when you get one" thing.

OTOH, my primary OS is not Windows. I don't *need* windows to buy Secure mobi "big name" books if I have a gen3 do I?
Nope. The Cybook Gen3 reads Secure Mobipocket directly. And the PID of each Cybook is visible in the About dialog so you can hand-enter it at Fictionwise, Mobipocket, etc. Then it's just a drag-and-drop using the USB cable to the Cybook.
