Yes, that is our situation. My wife bought a Kindle from a girl-friend who purchased it for her illiterate husband. It was NIB. So anyway, We're finding some books that I would like to read on my Sony when I travel (I don't like the Kindle).

I'm reading a big book (Verdict: in search of a crime). It's a large format book with about 700 pages. I don't want to leave it, but I don't want to take it with me because it weighs more than my laptop.

I'm not up to breaking any Federal copyright laws... even though Lompoc has a golf course! So, any ideas to reload legally purchased books to be used on a single device (Sony) would be great.

How about a firmware patch that makes the DRM think my Sony is a Kindle? I woudn't be modifying the original file or disabling the DRM.

By the way, I have been renting content from my local library with Adobe Digital Edition. Works perfectly! Love it! We're on the brink of a new age!
