The reader store for the UK has nothing to offer me.

Hello,

After waiting 5 months for a UK store, I am very disappointed by what is on offer. My only books are free books from Project Gutenberg. The computer section has mostly newbie books. The section on Operating Systems only has two, Windows 98 and 7, and the first is in Spanish' If you look at the USA site, there are a lot of interesting books on computing. 

I now have an expensive paperweight, courtesy of Sony. My only recourse for the Prs-T1 is to look for as many sites as possible that are not Sony, that I can get books from.

At the end of last month I bought a kindle, and have downloaded Linux magazines from the USA.

Recently, I have found using Sony products to be less than expected, so I will not be buying that brand again.

This company is going the way of Olympus, where its business plan is atrocious. These are example on how not to run a company.

Regards GW

Well, what can you say. Not all store offer the same product and services. Which a bit annoying in some point.

There are an awful lot of sites out there to purchase books from that you can happily put on the T1 - and Gutenberg isn't the only free one available, either.

But if all you wanted was computer stuff, can't help there I'm afraid, I have quite enough of using  the things without reading about them - but seek and ye shall almost certainly find.

{ Certainly Sony users on MobileRead seem to have no problems accessing that sort of stuff. )
