Absolutely no problems with Sony -- I'm looking at one as an alternate to my Kindles.  I like the reader, I don't like the prices.  It's a more attractive alternative to stripping DRM and converting books I can't read directly on the Kindle, which are very very few so far.

It took me several days to read all the back post headers for a couple of weeks when I joined MR.  I can't really blame newbies for not catching up quickly, but searching should be a priority when there is a specific question or problem.  It's very unlikely that someone hasn't paved the road ahead of them.
