Probably a dumb question, have patience with me, I'm new!
I have wanted an eReader for ages, and supposing that I'm getting a Sony 505 as a birthday present in the near future, do I need to wait for it to come to start downloading books? ie, is there something in the package I need to wait for? Or can I download the Sony eLibrary software or Calibre and start collecting the books I want from this site and others, so that they'll be ready to load onto the reader?
If I try Calibre, does it interfere with the Sony interface? I note that some people report problems.
My skill level is sort of medium -- a lot of the techie conversation on here is so far above my head that it's funny, but I've used computers for years. I really don't want to get into converting books from one format to another; I'm not that interested in the lastest bestsellers; a lot of what I want is available free, but there is some copyrighted stuff I'll want to buy, either from Sony or Fictionwise.
Thanks to all you helpful people in advance ...
