I've been waiting for a decent reader offering in the UK for a while, so when I passed through Heathrow yesterday, the £160 offering in duty-free was too good to refuse.
I travel a lot and tend to pick up three or four latest releases every time I pass thought an airport - the reader seems like a godsend in terms of weight and size
However, I wanted to buy some ebooks. The Sony software "ebook library" has a link to the estore. Great! Except, it doesn't take you to the integrated sony ebookstore like the US version apparently does. It just offers a web link to a UK bookstore (waterstones) that sells ADE books. And not very many at that.
I was browsing the USA Sony ebookstore and saw Robert Crais' "Chasing Darkness" I quite fancied it. But I can't buy as it I need version 2.2 of the software...despite the PRS-505 shipping with Version 2.3! Seems us Brits are barred from the US Sony ebookstore?
After a quick look on here, I find Fictionwise. They can sell me the book too - in Secure eReader format, or mobi, or MS Reader. But then I have to convert it...I am wondering if this great looking device is as conveniant as I first thought
Seems I am going to have to do some serious digging to get the reading material I want.
