Thanks for all the words of encouragement
I'm moving from the UK to the States (NY). My fiancée is over there right now trying to find us a place to live while I wait for my visa.
F1Wild, I know what you mean about not wanting to part with the disks, but I realised that after having kept them in a box for ages I didn't actually miss them so I gave them away.
I got sick of my dvd's taking up so much room (I have about 400 or so) so I dumped the cases some time ago. I keep my collection catalogued so that I know where to find them, and I'm so glad I got rid of those bulky cases.
Having the reader has enabled me to do the same with my books now, I'm not losing any 'data', I'm just moving it from a bulky storage medium (paper) to a more efficient one.
It's incredible to think that all of those thousands of books fit on a tiny sd card!
Desertgrandma, I have already discovered the vast wealth of books on this site, and have been downloading feverishly
Toomanybooks, thanks for the recommendation, but I'm afraid I wasn't clear in my first post. I was actually referring to the software on the device itself. It's not bad, but I think it could be a bit better. Having said that, I haven't looked at the manual yet and I seem to have figured out most of the features.
You're right about Calibre. I use Linux so Calibre was really the only choice I had, but it works well. I shudder to think what the Sony software is like.
