Just got myself a new Sony PRS500 from US, old stock, so I will be joining the throng of UK members trying to work out why Sony won't allow me to buy books directly from their "Connect" store

...it's not like they have to worry about postage
I have managed to claim some of my free "Classics" and buy a "real" book with a voucher that came with the reader - so I have the basics worked out already. I then tried to buy an eBook through the W.H.Smith (UK chain of stationers/bookstores) eBook Store but cannot work out how to get content onto the Sony ...
Thanks to those folks who have spent time on the WIKI - I'm off there now
cheers,
Andrew
