@ ROY:

I infer from your exuberance that your new Reader arrived today? If so, that could easily explain why you have not held forth with more information.

On a side note, I was rather miffed at the customer service rep with whom I spoke Sunday. "4-5 business days." I work every day of the week, that to me is business. I have to get up early and do my thing, awaiting parts ordered Friday for "next day service" only to get them Monday. Sorry, just had to vent about all the people who think the world magically suspends itself Sat & Sun.

To all the people noting my dismissal of "classics":

When the Reader first came out, I was all agog over digital/electronic texts. I scoured my over-crowded bookshelves for titles that were represented on Project Gutenberg. Sadly, reading said texts on my laptop are not much fun. Treasure Island is best read under a tree or in a comfy chair. Thus, while I have an affinity for non-copywright material, am not concerned about receiving it from SONY, especially in a proprietary format. As for future purchases, the Connect store is a bit lacking, but free books are free books.
