I'm considering buying a PRS 505 and woud like to download eBooks from my local library. So I did a trial download and read the eBook on my laptop. During this exercise I downloaded Adobe's Digital Editions and I noticed that DE made a connection to the web every time I re-opened the book. I presume this was to validate whether my (librray downloaded) eBook had expired. (Just guessing here).

So would I be able to read this type of book on the Sony reader? Would (can) the Sony reader need to connect to the web to ensure the book has not expired?

Thanks
