For those of us who choose not to use Microsoft Word, even if we download or otherwise have a Word Doc file on our computer, need to do the conversion to RTF manually, using our word processor.

Even that isn't enough! You also have to have a Windows PC so you can install the Connect software. If, for example, you have a Mac with a copy of Word you are S.O.L. -- Sony doesn't provide the Connect software on any platform other than Windows.
Of course, based on my experience with it at my sister's place over the Xmas holidays, you well might not want to have the Connect software in any case. The libprs500 library is almost as good, and is improving steadily. And it runs on Mac and Linux as well as Windows.
