I know exactly what you mean you try to read and someone interrupts you, and i love my device but i do mind the attention. I usually ride the subway and i am reading with my headphones in my ears but my ipod turned off, so i think peopl assume i can't hear them. Ive heard many comments but my favorite one was a conversation btwn two individuals:
"What is that?"
"I think it's an old school pda"
" you think? Its really ugly she should get a blackberry."
At that point I looked up because I wanted to see the face of the individual that would dare call my baby ugly, and gave her this killer look... anyway..

I have not realized this fact! and thinking about it, I used to hate that and I would usually just put my book away. Also I dont have to strain my fingers having to keep the book open if i want to simply read with one hand!! Yay!

What certain bookstore are you trying to buy from? I use Calibre bc it allows you to change the metadata ( the author name and title of the book) on the sony software it doesn't allow you to do that! you can find many books in this forum under the E-book tab! so check here before you buy one. The 700 is really flexible with the format of documents, I believe the only formats you cannot use is .mobi any thing else is convertible ( you can use claibre to change the formats)
I was going to keep the sony software for the free books, but then all of those books are free anyway and can be found on this site
Have you seen other people with an ebook? I live in NYC with tons of people and i have only seen two Kindle Gen 1. I half want to bother them and take a look but they are reading half the time and its rude =T
