Unlike my PDA type affairs where you end up with a headache or with the issue that you cant read them in bright daylight/sunlight.<br /> <br /> The Mp3 player is a nice touch, being able to relax and listen to classical music whilst reading your book (having you headset pluged into your book) is very pleasent.<br /> <br /> My only cripe comes from the Connect eBook store. It will only allow people with a credit card registered in the USA to buy books through it.<br /> This kinda limits me to having to resort to oh ah Jim lad to get any books (not ideal in my eyes). Even books from other ebook stores wont work on the reader as Sony have decided to go propriety on their DRM.<br /> <br /> Does anybody have any ideas on how I get around this issue without moving to Uncle Sams?<br /> <br /> Cheers<br /> <br /> Fozza<br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.abtelectronics.com/images/products/BDP_Images/big_prs500.jpg" /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=31892.1&return_msg=31892.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="31892.1"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a31892_2"></a><div class="message" id="message_31892_2"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: koswix<span class="message_time">17 Feb 2007 11:45</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Dr Nick (FOZZA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 17 Feb 2007 12:29"></span></span> <span class="message_count">2 of 50</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=31892.2">31892.2</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=31892.1#a31892_1" target="_self">31892.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <img src="http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/ehlee/Images/Pictures/nelson.gif" /><br /> <br /> <font size="1">Sorry, couldn't resist.</font></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=31892.2&return_msg=31892.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="31892.2"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a31892_3"></a><div class="message" id="message_31892_3"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Dr Nick (FOZZA)<span class="message_time">17 Feb 2007 12:29</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: koswix <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 17 Feb 2007 12:41"></span></span> <span class="message_count">3 of 50</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=31892.3">31892.3</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=31892.1#a31892_2" target="_self">31892.2</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <p>Helpful!</p> <p> </p> <p><span class="emoticon e_smile" title=":)"><span class="e__">:)</span></span></p> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=31892.3&return_msg=31892.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="31892.3"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a31892_4"></a><div class="message" id="message_31892_4"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: MrTrent<span class="message_time">17 Feb 2007 13:15</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Dr Nick (FOZZA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 17 Feb 2007 18:58"></span></span> <span class="message_count">4 of 50</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=31892.4">31892.4</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=31892.1#a31892_1" target="_self">31892.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Ask a friendly US based forumite to make the purchase for you and you paypal them the money?
