Two files have recently landed on my desktop, which is where I download everything to, but I don't know what they're for. I googled them and found that they are something to do with ebooks. What am I supposed to do with them?

I suspect it's an epub thing, but this doesn't help much when I don't know how to play with them. :smack:

Any help appreciated. I'm not much of a techie. :thanks:

A .epub file is a renamed .zip file, and two of the files in the ZIP are called mimetype and something.opf. So you most likely downloaded an ePub file but your web browser treated it as a .zip and automatically unzipped it. If so, I would expect them to be in a folder, rather than actually on your desktop as files. If so, the easiest thing to do is delete the folder and redownload the .epub file without unzipping it.

The Sony ebook library should have been associated with .epub files in your browser (I think). If you install Adobe Digital Editions it should certainly be associated with .epub files and prevent unzipping on download.

Thank you for your info, Wallcraft. I'll delete the files.
I've had problems with Adobe Digital Editions. When I install it, it freezes. I asked for advice about this in another thread and came to the conclusion that as the Sony software can usually transfer epubs with no problem, it's just the odd Harlequin freebie I have this problem with. So I uninstalled ADE and can live without the Harlequins. I did message Harlequin books about this, but have no reply.
Thanks.
