Thanks. So, Sony has drm on their books like Amazon? What about the free ones? Also, I've bought some books on Borders and they read fine on my Sony. Do they have drm on them as well? I assume that my smashwords freebies will be fine, correct? What if I put the freebies on a CD? Would they then be able to load them back onto the reader once they authorize it to the sony site (if they choose to do this)? Thanks for your help. I'd hate to sell a reader with free books on it, then have them suddenly be unreadable.
