We have to remember that the Sony owned TimeBook Town is THE ONLY WAY of how to load book to your Sony Librie reader. There are some ugly hacks that enable you to read - gasp - your own text - that is text not purchased from TimeBook. Even legally ... aehm ... "purchased" books expire after 2 months.

It means all libries become expensive paperweights per march 2009.

It is scary to see how Sony treats the suckers^H^H^H^H^H^H^H customers that purchased their product. Phew!!!
