Thanks, alanastoz and Jack -- so the CC# only needs to be entered once per device and per CC#. That's helpful, although quite how the numbers are to be entered still seems a bit obscure to me at this stage, not having one of these gizmos to play with

I guess, lurking under all this business of having to choose between a Mentor or a Litebook, is the format wars question: which format has the greater range of reading material (including the dreaded DRMed stuff): MobiPocket or eReader? I imagine this must have been debated to death elsewhere in these forums -- is there a useful synopsis anywhere than anyone knows about?
