Also, go check your library for eBooks it may have as there's probably a waiting list. And go to google.com and look up Apprentice Alf to learn how to remove eBook DRM.

Another thing to do is get the Moify ePub plugin. You can read about it over at the Calibre Plugin forum. Also give the Calibre forums a read to learn how to use it. Ask questions there is you need/want help. Also read the thread about the modified home screen in the Sony Developer Corner forum as you'll find out about the modified reading app that fixes the font switching bug.

One font I rather like on the T1 is Charis SIL. I'll post my modified Charis SIL that has smallcaps and is a little bit darker and better for eink contrast.

I also suggest getting a cover. I like the Sony Light Cover.

You can get it from B&N for less and with free shipping in the US. They do ship outside the US. No idea the shipping to Canada.
JSWolf, thank you so much for your patience and detailed reply, I appreciate it!

I have another question regarding ADE. I have ADE on my computer now which shows my Kobo purchases, I use it for nothing else. However, I don't think I setup an 'Adobe ID'.
I pasted this from ADE website:
"After installation, the Setup Assistant wizard prompts you to activate Adobe Digital Editions (you must be online during this process). During activation, you have the option to authorize your computer with an Adobe ID."

I'm pretty sure I only selected 'authorize', but if not, where do you find your 'ID'? I assume once I've straightened that out I wait to authorize my T1 with ADE and that's it for the ADE portion of 'setup'?

Already familiar with Alf and some Calibre plugins [nothing too technical, just basic series sort, etc but am interested in the font portion. What are the fonts that come with factory T1? I usually just go with basic sans. And I already got lucky and bought the official Sony cover with light when they were on sale a couple of weeks ago.

I just want the transfer from my Kobo to my Sony to go smoothly and I'm not the most tech-savvy person by a long shot so it's a little intimidating. Especially with the amount of problems I had with my KT, it's made me very nervous to do any changes at all.
