Only problem with this is that you then can't switch back to the UK Waterstones site I believe.
Totally sympathise with Kieron - its an absolute pain to download purchased files at the moment in the UK (and probably the same case elsewhere).
My PRS-505 is a stunning device but sadly I wouldn't recommend to anyone at the moment because of the hassle involved with all the various formats. Last night it took me the best part of an hour to download a purchased MS Reader book (had no other option) which involved:
a) downloading a Microsoft Reader program
b) signing in to Microsoft to authorise
c) Trying ABC Lit to convert the DRM which failed.
d) having to google another program to strip the DRM
e) Opening the PDF and formatting the title/name
And they wonder why people download files illegally......
Piece of cake if you know what you're doing but not something you'd recommend to a noob. A ebook reader is for book lovers not computer geeks.
