Hi red,

I'm afraid I can't speak for sony or comment on irish support - but I woud venture that there isn't a massive amount in the sony store, for the e-reader there are plenty of other apps and formats etc where you can get books and readers.

The tablet has been great and I generally use it daily for various different use cases it's still a great tablet, and I prefer it to my wifes ipad but they both have things the other can't do - I wanted something that wasn't a big version of my iphone, that was different but on an open format (Android) - in that case the sony s met my needs and still does. I don't care that some of the proprietry stuff didn't work as I wanted from the start there were apps available that did and now Sony have updated.

I'd suggest that you list the things you want from a tablet and see what the tablet s meets natively, what can be met by apps and what can't be done - if your third list is the largest then it seems the tablet s isn't for you - if either of the other two lists win out then hopefully you'll see the tablet as more than useful.

If there is stuff you find you can't do try asking here - people are quite knowledgeable and helpful and may have a workaround for you.

Dont be to disapointed about the PS store. Theres 36 old PS one games, having played a couple of free ones I can say that I'll never pay for them. For me its not a selling point for the tablet

As for reading books, the reader store is poor. Expensive and a small selection. In fact if you want an ereader get a dedicated one.

Having said that, if the Sony staff told you something that was not true I'd be complaining as is sounds like misselling to me.

One question, what can you get from the Google Play store?
