software.  However, they cannot be read on any other ereader, such as my 
Kobo, or a Sony ereader, etc.  That's what I was trying to say.

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
