Mark thanks for that, hadn't realised Sony using a different format. Trouble is, for the price, the Sony just seems better. If you don't mind, for a newbie, relatively non-technical, how difficult will it be transport books from Sony to Iliad (sally reads way faster than I do) or will we have to buy books twice, two difernt formats. You menton de-DRM...time to look this up.
I'll have to look into this before Sally gets to the UK.
Many thaks for your help and soon hope t post any questions in the right forum
