So I drove to Boston from Montreal (6 hrs) to purchase the ebook reader. Not only did I find out it was refurbished when I got there I also had to buy the adapter separately because I was told it wasn't included (which I found odd since I read it does). Anyways, I get back to Montreal and charge up the item. A few hours later I boot it up and it automatically freezes on me when installing the dictionary. I do a reset and same thing happens again. This time it freezes on the main screen. I am so frustrated at this point. I called the Sony store in Boston and they told me I have to ship it back and they will reimburse me. I'll ship it back to them tomorrow but the moral of the story is.....don't buy refurbished items from the States when living in Canada.
