This. Yes, you don't need to install the Sony software. For me that is pure heaven. I'm a Linux user in a world of "this desktop software requires Windows (or Mac)", so being able to just USE a thing I buy and take home was pure joy out of the box. I did need brief access to a Windows computer to update the firmware, but as long as that's the only time I'll have to send it with my husband to work, the rest is fine.
If you use calibre and you have a collection of epubs you can just zap them onto your Sony via usb. I really appreciate this because I mostly read all the free un-DRM'ed material I can get.
I did get a bit confused about the procedure to register the T1 with ADE (I did want the option to use
some DRM content as that is what my library uses) so that I could just click download on an available library book, but after both the sony reader store and ADE understood each other, that was fine too.
I hope you get your T1 soon! I've bought things from overseas before and sometimes the wait can be a while, but you'll really enjoy it, I think (the T1, not the wait
)
