The new PRS-505 upgrade for Adobe is useful too, but I'm not fully happy with having to use the Sony book library again and haven't yet been able to work out how to add downloads to Calibre. This means I've got two libraries on the go, which is not ideal!
Incidentally, I popped into my local Sony shop the other day and, amongst other things, asked them about when their Readers will be on sale (Sept 14th). The staff had a sample under the counter, still in its sealed box, but they barely knew what it was for! Let's hope they have a little training before they try and start selling the thing!!!

Oddly I was told and have oredered mine on the grounds that I can pick it up on the 4th. The staff in your Waerstones look like they might be a bit dim as all the literature in store clearly states it will be available from the 4th.
One thing I have noticed tho, is that there is no clear mention on the Waterstones website when the books they sell will be available in the sony format and what books they will be selling ( I have converted a load of lit books using calibre
).
And considering that is a must for the reader it seems strange that they don't have that up and running already - after all you need something to read on the reader after all.
