Question: Book Purchase at CONNECT store from outside US - Page 2

You can buy books in Microsoft Reader format and easily convert these to Sony LRF format - if it's legal for you to do so in your country.

Thanks for that but is it easy to do - you are talking to a complete novice!

I dont think it's because you live in Ireland. I am able to connect from Australia and register with the store, the only thing I cannot do is buy books from them without a US card. However you can buy them using a gift voucher. There is a way to do it which is quite easy. PM me if you want to know how.

Apart from that when you have registered you can buy Sony format books elsewhere, or convert other formats. The Sony books from other sources are however not the ones that I want to read. Hope you fare better.

Cheers

There's a little trick if you have an american express card : I live in France and I was able to register my PRS-505 with my american express card, but because the card number is somehow attached to my adress in France, I had to find and tell I live in an US city with the same zipcode as mine (thanks google). Fortunately zipcodes from USA and France share the same 5 number format...

On the other hand there's a good site from where you can buy BBeB ebooks : fictionwise

Some people have all the luck! I tried the Australian postcode (4 digits) I even made up a postcode, but Sony store and AMEX would not play with me or my card.

Such is life
