So I'm trying to download as many "classics" as I can while they are still free for me. I'm using the Sony software and am amazed at how bad it really is. One thing I've noticed is that when you have scrolled down a bit and you click the "buy now" button, the confirmation window appears at the top, so you have to scroll up to click "confirm." Unless the confirmation window is partially visible (because you haven't scrolled down very far), there's no way of knowing that you have to scroll back up. So if you're at or near the bottom and want to buy the book, you click "buy now" and nothing happens. You're just supposed to know that you have to scroll all the way back up and click the confirm button. Unbelievable...
