I haven’t attempted to buy books there… I’m using the Reader primarily to read Project Gutenberg books, which can be freely obtained from a variety of places. There are thousands of titles available.

I also got the Sony reader for Christmas but have found that I can not download any books from ebook_sony. Since I am with the US State Dept and stationed in El Salvador they tell me I must live in the US to download. Have you had this same issue or found a solution. Thanks</p> Interesting.
