As far as I can tell, the PB603 is not available in my country, and it's 269 EUR (~$350). Or I could get a Kindle for $140.

This is not the point. The point in this thread is LadyLou who fights very brave to get her little reader running and enjoy it. She worked on it for a year. Now she asked for help and it is not going to help her when someone says: throw out your device and buy one that works easier. Her device is not a bit more complicated. The only difference between them is the lack of wifi and thus the downloading to a computer first.
Furthermore I guess it is not helpful for certain persons to always mention Calibre. It should be step 2 not step 1 to engage Calibre when they have mastered using the software on board the reader. I don't know if you own a Sony but the moment you connect it with your computer it runs the Reader Library Software and you are perfectly able to handle all your needs with it as I imagine the Kindle software does with the Kindle.
When somebody comes to a board having precise questions or issues I think it is common curtesy to adress these and not to wisecrack about how easy something else works or if there are even more advanced things and so on.
The pattern in all threads I saw on this forums so far is always the same. Someone will talk about Calibre and its superiority above SRL or ADE or whatever, another one will recommend the easy Kindle and a third one will bring up deDRM. You can bet your ass on it. But I fail to see how this is helpful to those who come here for help. And this is what drives me nuts and sometimes over board.
