Thanks for the speedy response.

Okay so essentially I can install the Sony software using a VM and also activate it for digital editions in the same way. Then I can use any of those DRM formats including PDF, Epub and whatever Sony's format is.

I would get them onto the 505 either using drag and drop or Calibre.

Just a couple more questions.

You say that 'if I register my machine as being in the UK'. Does that mean that you could register it as being in the US? Does that offer any advantages?

So after I have registered my device I wont really need to use the Sony software again? I can just download books from any stores and if it is PDF or Epub I will be able to use it? Do I need to do seperate device activation for Epub?

Thanks for the advice on other sites to look at. If I am looking at those sites or any other free sites what is the best format to look for? As in most economical space wise and the best performance? Would it be Epub, PDF or another?

Things are looking a little clearer now. Thanks.
