Edit my books then transfer back to Sony Reader Library?

MC410205 · 02-23-2011, 07:23 PM

Hi! I'm using Calibre to fix titles, but numbers in series etc. But now I want to put my books, in all their edited glory BACK on my Sony Reader Library. Do I do this by loading them all into my reader, then using the reader to put them in the library? I don't want to ruin my library by trying to get it back! Thanks!

When you connect your reader and then click on "Send to device" from Calibre, it sends a copy of the books only to the reader. Your full library will still be there on your PC, Calibre won't delete them unless you specifically tell it to (by right clicking a title or multiple titles, and select Remove books).

It's your call but why use both software packages?

Exactly, why would you want them in Reader Library?

Calibre will do everything and more and better.
