You bought the wrong reader. Anything that ties you to one supplier is to be avoided. The reader to get is the Bookeen Cybook. Get it through NAEB. The better spec and cheaper price ($350 ad opposed to €350 for a lesser spec) make it the better buy, in spite of minor import hassles. The Cybook has Mobipocket as its native mode, and will also read PDF, RTF and a few other formats. Mobipocket format books are available from Mobipocker and Fictionwise, to name only two out of many. Some titles are DRMed. most are not. Cybook will read both. For SF, go to Baen Webscriptions. All titles are DRM-free, and many are available from their Free Library. You can use UK credit/debit cards at all the above with no fuss. I've been detting ebooks for years to read on my PDA. I've just bought the Cybook, and I'm delighted with it. Phil the Badger
