Thanks for the words of encouragement.

I have just installed the Sony software on another computer and still get the same result when I try to access my account. I have to conclude that it is an account problem and not a computer problem.

However I have just successfully purchased a book from Books on Board using my Aussie Credit Card, address and phone number. I have tried this in the past without success. Does anyone from Australia use this website and if so do you know why it sometimes works or doesn't work? Does it depend on the actual book? This one was the latest Jack Reacher Novel, (yes I know I should be reading the classics and other more high brow literature).

By the way, this latest book is the first one I have downloaded in EPUB format. I actually prefer the look to the ones I previously downloaded from the Sony Store in their format. I accidentally purchased another book in Adobe PDF Digital Editions format and it was hopeless. All of the words just followed after each other without starting on new lines when they should have. Just some observations from a total Newbie. I'm sure that all of you EBOOK veterans know the technical reasons behind all of this.

So, I am enthused again and I will just chalk up this unpleasant Sony Ebook Store chapter, (no pun intended), to experience.
