In my case, I have the software, but I think it shows how easy it is to lose your notes.
..and then we haven't even yet started to talk about their decision to stop supporting BBeB. Excellent way to get rid of a loyal user base, Sony. I may just as well switch to Cybook or whomever, whenever my 650 stops working (which hopefully isn't going to happen in the foreseeable future).
Entrusting serious work to these proprietary formats designed for consumer use is a serious mistake.
