Hi!

First post so be gentle!

I've only had my Sony Reader 505 for 3 days. It was a birthday pressie from my boyfriend. He imported it from the US to the UK. I only have free books so far but would at some point like to be able to simply (as I can't get my head round all the techie computer stuff)

buy newer books. I was disappointed that I can't do this from the Sony site so I was thrilled to see they're going to be released here.

My question is - without scary jargon (!) - can someone tell me what it means for my US reader. Will I simply be able to start downloading if they open the site to the UK? Will I need to update it somehow or will it not be usable with UK ebooks website like Waterstones?

Advice please!!!
