Thanks Patricia. Here is what I did. I created an account from India and authorized my notebook.
My sister in NYC did the same and also authorized the reader for this account. Then she logged off.
When I logged in, three devices were in the list and I could download one book already in India.
I dont know if I could purchase books sitting in India. But I have 100 books to read first
I will certainly look into the mobileread forums section for books. I have bookmarked it already.
I hope there is a good collection of non-fiction here.
thanks for your tips and for making it work for me.
cheers - vivek
