*Mac Book, 2.0Ghz white, 1GB Ram (you want more).
(1) Running WinXP SP2 under parallels, I did get the Sony software to install without a hitch, and it even runs. IT wants a larger size window than I was giving it, so now I run parallels in fullscreen.
(2) the Sony software is some of the ugliest media applications I have ever had the displeasure to be shoehorned in. It may be because they took the design mistakes of iTunes 7, gave it to a committe, and then passed it on to a drunken engineer...
(3) the connection speed does feel very slow! If it's stuck in USB 1.1 that would explain it. Deleting contents of the reader crawls. The transfer of purchased books is fine, because they're fairly small. The transfer of podcasts ... is painful.
(4) and ... why the heck does it not automatically sync?
My displeasure is emphasized because my first (second) purchase is the Perfect Thing, the new Levy technoluvfest about the iPod. Sony could never make the iPod.
That said, I'm doing more reading with this thing than I've done with books...
