I am fairly convinced the Sony Bookstore doesn't want my business; they've certainly made it a horrible task to purchase anything from them.
It's not much faster on DSL -- and if it times out, you have to exit the program and start over, as it can't attempt to reconnect. Their web site is much better, but you can't buy anything there -- and they wonder why the Kindle sells better?
