Oh. Right.

I recall hearing about that, but since I'm not a Sony ebook purchaser, I hadn't experienced it directly.

That's one of the strengths of the Mobi / eReader format that they don't require a program to be installed to buy and load books on a device. If Sony could implement such a system, it would probably silence a large part of the complaints.
