Well, I've managed everything except buy and add books using the ......y wifi, so I'd greatly appreciate a quick how to do it for Dummies ( well, actually A dummy, that's me, Mr. TechDummy )

I have my Reder for PC , I'm up to date on the various updates to .28.
I already have Adobe Digital from the 650, but do I need another version ? I never used it for the 650, or the Reader stuff, since I joined the Church Of Calibre...............and have bin "cheating" anyway by using the New Testament of Calibre anyway.
I have successfully downloaded by wifi a free book from Gutenberg, but that's the nearest I've got.

I've read the stupid manual till I've got sonyblindness, but, like all manuals, it never uses the words I need, or covers the subject I want to know about, and I prob'ly wouldn't understand it if it did.
At no stage in the thing do they settle down and say "here's how to buy a book from a store (NO, NOT THE NON-EXISTENT READER STORE!) and put it on your nice new T1. You need this, this and this, then do this, this and this.
We explain it simply like this because we want to make your life easier and be a contented Sony customer now and in the future."
