I was wondering does anybody have experience with Sony Reader in the Middle East? is a US based credit card needed to buy books? any problems with using laptop to buy and then transfer to the Reader?
I know that I have to buy it from the US (looking at PRS900BC), but wondering whether that also requires US credit card as is the case with Amazon and B&N.
Thanks for the assistance

I live in Qatar and got a PRS-600 brought to me by a visiting friend. In order to use the Sony store for purchasing books (and to use the credit that came with my Reader), I had to log on to a Virtual Private Network that was situated in Canada in order to register my credit card. The Store could detect, otherwise, that my IP was in Qatar and wouldn't accept my credit card -- for security???? purposes. After that, there has been no problem using the Sony store.
