Great news! (for me at least

).

I was about to send my broken reader back to Sony to see if I could have a refurbished replacement for the $29 (as stated on their site per their Customer Care tool).

Then, I thought, "Hmmm...I did buy this locally...wonder if they'd be willing to give me a replacement?"

Drum Roll Please.......Yes sir-ee!

I took the busted reader to the bookstore I bought it at four months ago, explained how it broke, and they gave me a replacement! WooT! WooT!

Now I just have to figure out how to set it up. Any thougths on that? I'm charging it now, and I figure "authorizing" this new device on the Sony website is the next step.
