I have been using my Reader to check out and read library books since I have no desire to own every book I read. But there are a couple of quirks with the Sony Reader software that have been annoying.

The sync is all messed up and never completes on my Reader. I get around that by using Calibre, but it is annoying.

The "return borrowed item" feature works sometimes, but mostly doesn't work. When I click on that to try to return I get error -1111. I can't find any help with that error. I also just use Calibre to delete the library books I've read to get around that too.

I have some handwriting files that I would like to get off the Reader onto the SD card. I can't figure out how to do that.

Overall - the Sony software seems to be a mess. I'd really appreciate any assistance.
