Some questions before buying the Reader

Hello,

I'm pretty sure that I'm going to buy this device. But I've got some questions, wich the threads in the forum couldn't give me an answer to, since the device would cost me about 405 USD / 300 EUR what is rather a lot of money.

1) I read multiple books simultaneously, three for school and one novel and some short stories at home. Does the Reader remember where I was in every file when I switch to another one?

2) I like reading in bed. For paper-books I use a 11W energy-saving-lamp (wich corresponds to a 60W light blub) wich is shining to the ceiling. Is that also enough to read with the Reader?

3) Up to now I've been reading eBooks with different PDAs (from 160x160 Palm to VGA PPC). For those that also habe been reading with a PDA before the Reader, do you noticed any things that you liked more with the Reader?

4) Whats about warranty? Its one year in the US, right? When I need the warranty, then I would have to send it to Sony US at my own cost, thats obvious, but who pays the way back?

5) How high is the risk that I need the warranty? Are there much known cases?

6) The power supply adapter, wich power range does it support? Does it ship with international connectors (especially Euro-Connector) or with US only?

Best Regards

Fabian
