So in other words, without access to a Windows PC on which I can install the software to 'register' my new eReader, I'm stuck? Gotta love DRM.
Talk about publishers shooting themselves in the foot - they've, at least temporarily, lost sales from me as I can't actually access their products.
Also not terribly happy that to use an advertised feature of the device requires access to a Windows (or Mac) PC, which was NOT mentioned. I specifically waited for the new WiFi eReader because it was supposed to be able to access online stores -without- needing a PC.
At least there's Project Gutenberg and a couple of non-DRM commercial places which I've found, but they don't exactly have the largest selection of current titles.
Thanks for the info, Abtacha.
