I got my first dedicated reader device for Christmas
It takes FOREVER to load and run. And it does everything S l o w l y.

Prior to this, I read Mobipocket books on my Treo. Now, THAT ebook management software works and works well (and QUICKLY!). I am quite pleased with my Mobipocket book buying experience. So I know that this is not an impossible task.

Calibre is a lot closer to what I am used to, but of course there is no Bookstore attached to it, which I find VERY convenient. The Calibre people ought to look into some sort of cross marketing deal with some ebook vendors.

I'm not inclined to ebook piracy, so I will likely always pay for my reading material. But I am going to look for ways to buy my books from other vendors and then convert them to something I can use. Other than being pretty to look at, there isn't much to recommend the Sony Ebook management software.
