I'm new to this. If you want to buy ebooks from the Sony Connect store, do you:

1) Have to use the horrible Sony Library software that came with the PRS 505 in order to purchase and download the ebooks to the Reader? Or can I bypass it? Can I just download the ebooks to my desktop and then transfer it myself after making customizations to it?

2) Do you need a credit card to make an account at Sony to buy ebooks?

3) If I have a gift card for credit to the Sony Ebook Store, do I still need to make an account and send off personal info over the net to Sony?

Thanks for the help.
