Are any other adventurous souls out there trying Windows 7? Have you gotten the Sony drivers to work under it? In particular, on x64?
Thanks!

i have this working - i have the 505 and 700 so no drivers. I did have to set it to run in Vista Compatability mode to get it working thou.

Do you have it working with a 500? That's what I have. It looks like, from what I've gathered, because the 505 on just show as regular USB drives they don't have problems. The 500 on the other hand, needs a driver.

PRS-500 does not have an x64 driver and it's unlikely it will ever get one. You'll have to either transfer books using a memory card or install 32-bit Windows in a virtual machine.

Windows 7 Beta x64 here. Sony eBook Library always crash. Tried Vista/XP compatibility mode, doesn't help either.
