Thanks to all who replied to my introduction and welcomed me to this forum. My new Reader is here - arrived a few days early, imagine that!! I love it already and the red color is really nice.

I bought my first book from the Sony store. I wanted to test the process and set up an account. It was good until I tried to drag/drop the eBook to my Reader. After a dialog box told me I had to register at the Sony site, I got the message that, "Oops the page can't be displayed, try again later..." or something similar. Luckily for me, this problem has been reported and solved on this forum. I shut everything down, started the reader again and went directly to the Sony store. After logging it, the site detected my Reader and asked if I wanted to register it. I did, and the problem was solved (as far as I know!!).

I also used the free Google library to download a book - and it worked as advertised - wonderful! My next step is to download a book from this forum. At this point, I just want to make sure I understand the technology, both hardware and software. I'll check out Calibra and the others that members pointed me to.

Again, thanks again for the support and enthusiasm.
