I've had my 505 for a year or so. Down loaded over 100 books to my PC. Loved it.

Oct/Nov of 2008 I could no longer access the eBook store from my PC. Called Sony support. They tried everything. Finally said it was a HughesNet Satellite Service problem. I access the internet via HughesNet. I called HughesNet. They said it was a Sony problem.

Took my laptop over to a neighbor's house that has WildBlue Satellite service. It works fine there. I download 4-5 books/mth. The laptop won't work on HughesNet. I turn off all firewalls and Norton. Still no luck. The Sony help desk says they are still trying to solve my problem, but have no solution.

Any suggestions? Mike
