Yeah, I'm pretty well-versed on the whole getting rid of drm thing. One of my motivations for getting the Sony 900 was the fact that it can read non-drm epub. Quote:

Not sure if it's that simple - as I understand it, there's some USB features that aren't in the "open source" edition, but most people will be using the "closed source" edition, which is free for personal use but does have USB support.

I've never been able to use USB through it, even with the add-on "guest additions". |

The only thing about vmware I don't like is that I had to jump through hoops to download the thing, and had to provide my email address to get the download link. Other than that, two thumbs up! I installed the Sony Reader software within the Vista OS. Have to say I'm not impressed with it. Think I'll stick with Calibre and purchase my books through the reader itself. |
