Sony eBook Library on Windows 7 beta?
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!

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.
