ordeal in Canada - Page 2

I just bought mine today a dark blue one PRS505 from BH photo... Will let you guys know when it arrives.

My Blue 505 arrived today from J and R in New York. It was sent last night at 6:00 PM and I had it in my hands here in Calgary at noon (Fed Express).

I charged it which took an hour and then loaded up Pillars of the Earth which I had converted to the Sony Format last weekend and I loaded HarryT’s Sherlock Holmes Omnibus.

All I can say is that I am one happy camper. The Sony is an excellent piece of hardware and the two books I have loaded read wonderfully.

I have not registered with the Sony store. I believe I’ll find the classics on this sight better packaged then the ones available on the Sony site (Harry T has done a great job putting the Sherlock Holmes series together)

One note to Canadians… I do not think we’ll have to wait long for the device and the Sony store to be available to us. The instructions come in both French and English and on the back of my 505 under the serial number sticker is printed :

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003

It is also written in French

ooh. where'd you manage to find Pillars of the Earth in a convertable format? the only format that i can see on the ebook sites is mobipocket.

Pillars of the Earth is one captivating novel. Red eye night kind. I was told Follet was working on a sequel. Any news on that? Of course we'll have to wait more for the e-version but on this one...well, it'll have to be paper! I won't wait.

I bought my copy of Pillars of Earth in ms reader format from Fictionwise.com and the sequel called "World without End" is also available at fictionwise.com: 2thumbsup

Is it a thriller? Fantasy? Sci-Fi?

Bonjour Yvan!

I am currently reading the sequel, "World without end" with Mobipocket reader 6.1, waiting for my Cybook from NAEB! So far it seems as good as the first book!

None of the above. "Pillars of the Earth" is a historical fiction centered around the building of a Medieval Cathedral. It follows the lives of a slew of characters throughout the whole period. Its captivating, riveting and so well built!

Thank you, thank you!!!

I'll go to Montréal to find an English library, we don't have one in my home town. This is one of the biggest reasons I have a reader.

I wonder why I didn't think about it first. They have it on Connect for $12.99.
