Thanks Vgonman,
Excellent answer. I wasn't sure if the delay was every time or not. If it's just the first time that should not be a big deal. The format ideas for the word doc sound like a good idea as well.

I did find the software package Calibre and installed it. I converted my word docs to RTF then used Caliber to convert them to the native Sony LRF format. Caliber allows me to add Title, Author and Sort meta data which the Reader picks up. The converted files loaded quickly. Displayed author/title information and the text size is easily changable.

I very happy with the performance of Caliber and it was easy to figure out.

Now that I have the first 43 books converted and loaded, I think the Caliber route will be pretty easy going forward.

Thanks for taking the time to explain some of the basics. I'v only had the reader about a week but I'm already loving it.
