I just sent back my SonyPRS-300RC.The reader itself works quite well.
But the required software interface, the Sony ebook library, apparently has compatibility issues with Vista.
Intermittently, and finally permanently, the ebook transfer from the library onto my ereader caused a window to pop up saying: "ebook reader has stopped working." I tried removing the hidden/system attributes from my ebooklibrary.exe so it could be added to the DEP exclusions list, but that didn't work. Temporarily turned off my Norton protection, too, but that didn't help, either.
My plan for the future is to wait until these issues are resolved. I must say, I resent being essentially a Beta tester for an ereader.
For now, it's back to real books for me.
