ok so I'm ready to pack this up and bring it back. I feel like a bought a porsche and should have stuck with a tricycle lol. I'm a heavy duty reader and thought I'd finally enter the e-book world and save the aggravation of the massive pile of books I keep accumulating.
I'm lost. I purchased the Sony daily edition (PRS-900) based on the information the sales person at best buy gave me. He said that I would be able to read just about all e-book formats - including going to Barnes and Noble and uploading ebooks there. Only thing - I can't figure how. Reading the Sony manual makes it look like I can only get books from their library site and if I go to B&N it doesn't show there as a compatible device. Was this guy blowing smoke or am I missing the simple and obvious? Just a few pointers to get me going in the right direction. Any help would be appreciated.
