Hello, I have just treated myself to one of these devices and was looking forward to being able to purchase and read books of my choice. Oh was I so disillusioned! I had the misfortune to use on of the biggest ebook retailers who supply drm material. Nothing worked and my blood pressure rose accordingly! Their support staff did not seem interested either! Somehow after much toing and froing I managed to download then copy the downloaded books by using Apple mac drag and drop? I have been in touch with the CEO of this organisation and they say they are looking into my comments.

I can understand why people want to protect their material but so many different systems are totally unnecessary. If they must lock files this way surely a way forward is to use the unique identifier in most electronic devices to form part of the unique unlock key so that in the event of piratiing they can trace back to that device.

I came across a retailer who I would encourage you to use - www.ink-slinger.com. They were helpful and welcoming
