You shouldn't have to use another program to convert the books you bought specifically for the device just to read them. I won't buy anymore books from sony until they get this problem resolved

Yes, it is quite unexceptable that software written 5 to 10 years ago to run on Palm PDAs and windows Mobile devices for displaying eBooks is still much better than that which is used by ANY eBook reader device today. I guess the main difference is that the PDA software was written by third-party, independent developers who listened to their clients (us) and gave them the features and improvements that they requested. But the eBook device software is developed by the device manufacturer for a particular eBook provider, and they don't give a damn about what we want. Their attitude is take what we give you and like it.
