Another easy update here, well easy for the reader itself, the popups on the PC when it said it was done crashed and I had to power off but I think thats a problem with my pc as it is acting up a lot lately.

I dont know what all the complaints are about the reader, I love mine, Sony I dont like so much anymore but at least they have replaced things that have broken for no reason (like Ive had 4 2GB pro duos that just died).

I purchased the reader to read eBooks, what does my reader do, shows eBooks. Good that was the only reason I purchased it. I already have a sony mp3 player, I have a zen vision w for video, I have a tv & a pc for tv shows and a phone for phone calls. My reader doesnt need to do anything else. Have I had a problem with the reader? no not really, I left it on in the hot sun whilst sun bathing and when I went indoors it was burning hot and the text faded so I could barely see it, I just changed pages and changed back and presto I can read a nice dark text again.
Are pdf's poop on the reader, hell yeah they are, tried reading of the for dummies on the reader, that sucks, but the reader was mean for fiction. I could use a pdf to reader formate converter but I carnt be arsed have the book anyway.

The reader does what it is supposed to do, let you read books, anything else is a bonus as far as I'm concerned.
I updated it only cos I was prompted to what I purchased a new book and went to synch it to the reader. I dont want a clock on it, personally I think that would drain the battery having to refresh the clock every second, I wear a watch, if I want to know the time I look at my watch.

Love the reader for what it is not what it isnt, you read the description when you brought it and you paid a lot for it so Im really hoping you read about it first, otherwise thats your own fault. I was going to buy the sony libre but then found out there was an english sony reader out already, ok it doesnt let you write in the margins like the sony libre but I dont scribble in my books anyway.

The reader is a lovely thing.

I at least am a happy customer.
