True, some don't read the instructions first, but even when they do, it seems a lot have problems, just from the posts I'm seeing.

However, that being said........there is the other side of the coin. Like the post below.....many have no problems with it.

Hmmmm........I see a poll coming........
Well, in the interest of full disclosure, I am running Windows Vista, which I think the tech world has pretty much agreed is a piece of crap. However, I don't have any problems running any other software on my laptop, which leads me to blame Sony, not Vista.

I am always envious of the people who don't have any problems with the Reader store, but have spent several hours combing through threads on MR, hoping to find another thread on the problem I'm having. Mi biggest problem on 3.0 was that i couldn't even view my library at all - could only use the software to download. if you clicked on the library or a collection, the app froze and quit. Lovely. then, i upgraded to 3.1. now i can see my library (yay!), but can't sync through the reader library - it tries to tell me that older LRF books I purchased in the reader store are not authorized copies and can't be synced to my reader. argh! yes, i could just download the epub versions of the books, and i think the problem would go away.... except i prefer LRF format over ePub. it's also the principle of the matter - i guess after years of being spoiled by easy-to-use-out-of-the-box Apple devices (iphone, ipods, etc.) i hate that Sony can't figure out how to build great hardware AND software to run it.

end rant.
