I think I will be glad I found this forum.
I have been looking for an eBook reader and could not find one in the UK so I finally sourced one on eBay in America and bought it - so far,so good.
Last night I downloaded the Sony software on to my PC then went to register on the Connect site so I could start buying eBooks and find I have to be resident in the USA- so far so bad.
So at the moment as far as I am aware I have an eBook reader but I am unable to buy eBooks for it.
I am sure the wonderful people on this forum will be able to sort me out with the solution.
