But you'd need to strip the DRM to be able to read it on your PocketBook.

http://ebookstore.sony.com/ebook/chr...00000000531418

It seams to be geo-restricted to US But the sony store is lenient with geo restriction implementation.

Where are you lining anyway ?

He did, but I couldn't find it in ePub, so offered an alternative. (PocketBook 603 claims to read PRC aka Mobipocket.)

I forgot to check Waterstones though.

(Good grief! £19.82! It's £5.99 at Amazon UK!)

Thanks to all.
Due to the price, I think I go the way of pdurrant, stuff it into calibre and let calibre do the conversion to whatever I need (so I'm not limmited with the choice of my next reader, too;which won't be a pocketbook).

Will give me some pain running Kindle for PC under wine, but since I managed it with ADE, I think It's worth a try

"geo-restricted" ebooks ??? (I hope I'm not the only, who refuses to understand THAT)

BTW:
Amazon UK: 5,99$ (which is 6,80EURO)
Amazon Germany 12,73 EURO

WTF??

Kindle for PC had some font problems last i tried it. Might have changed. Also, not sure how the un-drm tools would do with linux

As to ADE and wine, there is some bad news comming :
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/884248

And even with price difference, i won't get book at amazon unless the book is available absolutely nowhere as ePub. Extra money is worth it to have a proper ePub and spare the hassle that is having to install kindleForPC and calibre.

What means of payment would you expect that don't requires a credit card ?

You could get a cash-funded 'credit card', surely?

As a coleague just mentioned:
"the crackers (PC games) are much more customer-friendly, than the original suppliers"
The ADE new are really bad! Do adobe force customers to upgrade, or will the old version work?

Perhaps all aouthors should be convinced to give thier work on voluntarily payment basis (as Corry Doctorow does). Maybe than we would get rid of DRM and alike AND tha aouthors would have even a higher income...

What really annoys me, is that all this DRM sh.. makes me consider if its really worth to change to ereading completly...

nope. the url you mentioned says in FAQ it wont work


ANYWAYS..just got it from the internet for free in epub/mobi/pdf

For my own peace of mind i just donated 10$ to WWF.

I hope not all publishers are stupid enough to:
-ask 10 different prices for same book
-have different releasedates all over europe
- only allow local georestricted buys
