Hi there --

Received my DR800SG yesterday and love the screen and feel of the device. But, a couple of issues that I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing.

1) I can download and purchase books from Barnes and Noble, but for some reason can't download the NY Times from the device (and run into a DRM issue if I download it from the computer). Neither Irex nor B&N knew why, but they are supposed to get back to me. Anyone else experience that?

2) On most books, I can adjust the fonts, but cannot do so with the Barnes and Noble books that came with the device, as well as with 1 book I purchased from them. Seems odd that this feature would be missing from the ebooks that come from B&N, but the option is missing from my menu in those books. Anyone have a similar experience or have any insight?

Thanks.
