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

No I haven't seen a single person here with a reader. Kind of strange, since the first readers came from Japan, (I think). Also Japan has one of the highest literacy rates in the world and every on of the hundreds of thousands of bookstores are always jam packed day and night.
A month or so ago I was on an international flight and saw an American (I think) with a Kindle sitting a few spaces away from me. I tried to see and smiled at the guy while glancing at the Kindle, (and pointing it out to my DH) but he turned his back slightly without returning the smile, and made it CLEAR that he would not be showing me his Kindle!
I tried to download a free trial book from Diesel, but could not load it on to my reader without the software. I wanted to keep the free books too, but on advice from a member here, I deleted the software again, and formatted my Sony first day...
I would like to be able to BUY book sometime though. I currently have 1620 books
, but who knows when I may want another one!
