Hi everyone, I'm sorry if this is a stupid post.
I'm a complete neewb and have been reading around the various threads here very keenly. I've finally decided to head in a Sony direction and go for the Touch.
But I'm finding all the reference to file conversions and re formatting a little intimidating. I really do just want to drag and drop downloaded books onto the device, I may be spoiled having used Apple/itunes and iPod which, I've found, very glitch free and totally simple
So my question is this, if I want to read - hassle free - books mainly from Gutenburg and Manybooks (other similar sites that I have yet to come across), is this the device for me? or is a lot fiddling around with various programmes

and so on, necessary. I have seen criticism about the sony library softwear programme (see how clueless i am!!

) does this mean a lot of work-arounds?
Is the Reader very limited regarding the formats it can handle. I'm in Europe so the sony ebook shop is not an option, not that I would want to go but it raises issues about availability of content.
I was tempted by the Pocketbook because it really did seem to be a case of drag and drop, but I really like the looks and functions on the 600
Thanks very much for any advice and for all the info I have been able to find out so far.
Pan
