I will see if it will download properly in a day or so. Most of my ebooks are out of copyright or Creative Commons. It is cheaper to buy modern books as hard copy than ebook, not to mention that you never actually 'own' DRM copies unless you strip it out. I'm not impressed.
I don't know mine wouldn't d/l either. I uninstalled and reinstalled it to finally get to work.

I loved my 1st gen. Kobo, and I've never had a problem with my KT [except the odd double page turn issue] until upgrades in the past couple of months.

How's the Sony working out for you?

Your comment about buying hard copy vs ebook, I TOTALLY agree. I don't understand the thinking behind that at all.

And for those who've had no trouble, I was in that group. Enjoy it!
