My dony prs 600 keeps crashing my computer (seperate issue), and so i've done as was suggested in another forum thread, and prevented the sony reader library from running. it seems to have solved some of the issues, however, as i understand it, this prevents me from downloading ebooks from the sony store.

I did as suggested, and downloaded Calibre. I had read somewhere in another forum thread that i could download a book from barnes and noble and convert it for reading on my prs 600. I tried this, downloaded a book, and the only format the book could be downloaded in was pdb.

When i try to convert the book from pdb to epub, i get the following error: Could not convert (book name). It is a DRM ed book. You must first remove the DRM using third party tools.

I'm not all that computer savvy. I can't find instructions for removing the DRM that are in a format i can understand. Can someone help?
