I have loaded pdf's and free epub's to an SDHC card. No problems with that. I can't seem to get the Sony Library software to run on my PC at work, so the memory cards are one work around.
thanks for that, Ken. I'm awaiting the arrival of a 600 bought from ebay yesterday. The plan is to give it to m-in-law who doesn't have a computer. I figure we'll load it up with a bunch of books first, but thereafter the easiest way (I'd guess) is to send her a SD card with new books on it. I've never done this before so maybe someone can help:

This acknowledged, if I got some thing like:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Integral-Sin.../dp/B000VY80AM
to plug into my MacBook, would it be as simple as dragging new files onto an external disk? Would I be able do same with DRM titles (we'll authorise her 600 to our machine before we give it to her~)
Thanks again & karma for the helpful advice...
