Hya, Gwyn: No I didn't lose anything at all.

Mind you -- after, I suspect, overloading my PRS with too many stored books and getting bad performance in the first few weeks -- I'm careful to keep my reader very simple and 'lightweight' these days and let my PC and laptop do all the library storage and catalogue work.

I treat my PRS a bit like hand-luggage now. I only store in it what I'm likely to need over the next couple of weeks and delete titles as soon as I've finished a read (they're always ready on my big machines to re-download any time, so why carry around the extra baggage in a reader?).

I have maybe a dozen books in there just now and (apart from the wee hiccup earlier this week; which I susect was caused by a bungled download on my part), it performs beautifully and at lightning speed.

Just been reading in another thread here someone complaining about long opening time on a Sony 300 after downloading several thousand books. Someone else said he had 'only' 980 books in his. Took great self-control not to add a post simply asking 'why?' Seems potty to me.

Hoots. Neil
