Psst-make sure you get the epub version or you will be highly disppointed. I couldn't think of anything worse than getting excited, buying a book on Amazon and not being able to read it. Honestly, for books that do not have DRM I buy them in the epub format and convert them over to lrf using Calibre-much easier to read that way.

Yaaaayyyyy!!!!!!!
Your advise is good - try to buy EPUB. I don't think you'll be able to buy an EPUB book on Amazon, although there are ways around it (lots of elbow grease).
BTW, why do you convert to LRF from EPUB? I'm new to Sony readers (PRS-900 is my first) and I don't have any complaints with EPUB.

Cheers

I've found that EPUBs work better than LRFs (they load faster).

Enjoy your new friend. Never get caught short without a good read again - perfect. And the red is such a nice colour. Calibre very good. Now are you off to Manybooks.net? And the list of titles here is really impressive too.
