dont get too excited, as i just found out (painfully) the sony ereader software does not run on windoze vista 64.
my new and quite cheap computer is running vista64 and i assume ms is pushing this going forward.
not sure what sony’s problem is as many of their own computers now come with win64…
another hurdle to overcome!
