I did try to contact the Book Store but the spinning idiot would not stop, and when it finally did it said the program was not responding (twice) and then that It could not be connected as I had no internect connection. (Iwas on the internet at that time, USB connected etc.). After three days of efforts I am ready to send this thing back, BUT I bought it for the books and after paying that much I WANT THEM.
Is there anyway I can work around the Sony software? Is there a listing of these FREE books I can just import to my SD and forget all about the Book Store. Please help as my free-book period will disapear before I get Sony to accept anything. Thank you. By he way, if I had any stock in Sony I would sell it quick or hire someone who reads and writes "people" english

Well, I did contact Sony as suggested. After a brief(??) fifteen minutes trying to communicate with a "English-as-a third- language" speaker. He finally gave me the phone number of the people who developed and designed the software(?). Spenf an hour and a quarter with them and they finally resolved ALL my problems. The basic major inability was that my firewall (COMODO) would not let the eBook store open up. Additionally my computer was set to dis-allow "pop-ups" [Sony loves Pop Ups} so I could not properly register and manage the software/credits/downloads.
IMHO I still think the software instructions/dialogue are the most convoluted I have seen in 55 years of tinkering with these things. Of course, none of that time had been spent trying to learn"Sony-speak".
Cheers to all, especially TWOODS.
