No luck with the second book, unfortunately.

Here's my experience-- I load a PDF on my Sony Reader. I read the PDF on my Sony Reader.
No more steps.
So far, I have yet to find a "buyable" EPUB that I haven't hated-- they have all been formatted with the smallest font still too large, lines too widely spaced, and thus too few words per page. The only EPUB I've actually bothered reading was one from Project Gutenberg:

For everything else, I've read TXT or RTF or PDF files. What I'd like to see is offical EPUBs
not formatted like they are a primer for a 5-year-old.
