Thank you both for the kind welcome! Dragonbone... I wonder how many books it takes to fill up a 3LDK? Back in the old days I had a 4 1/2 mat walk-up that was pretty much filled. Maruzen closed their largest store in Kyoto, and Kinokuniya reduced their Osaka branch's English section to one rack of shelves. I think e-books will be a life saver!
Cassidym, I'm happy to hear your vote of confidence in the 505. I was sitting on the fence trying to decide between that and the Kindle2. I tried to order the 505 from Amazon but they sell from Sony USA and can't ship it to Japan. I tried to buy from Sony Japan but they don't make the English language version! It almost swung the vote to Kindle. Thankfully another company was willing to send the English version of the Sony 505 to me here.
Can either of you offer any suggestions for good, easy-to-use software? I've already downloaded Calibre, Book Designer, ABC Amber, and a few others but haven't loaded them yet. I'm sure everyone has their own personal favorite. What do you folks suggest?
