After a few years of studying more reviews that I care to remember I have finally taken the plunge and bought the Sony 600. I had looked at the Kindle but Amazon have already diddled me out of a load of e-books before when they pulled the plug, so I wasn't going to get robbed again.

Me being me, I studied the quick user guide in detail, downloaded the manual and the latest version of the library. First problem I had was that the library wouldn't work with my Windows 7 system. I tried to just drag and drop all my existing files across but they were protected so I couldn't read. Then by chance I opened up Adobe e-reader, next thing I got the message that it had seen my book reader and wanted to authorise it to read protected content. Job done, I can read my existing books and I can use 'send to' with absolutely no faffing about with other software. I just wish I could read in lower lighting conditions. Otherwise absolutely perfect.
