Let's take it a step at a time.
You've installed the eBook Library software, yes? Now, you run the eBook Library software; you click the "eBook Store" button on the left, and what exactly does the screen say? |

Just to add to Harry's questions - you're trying to connect from a PC/Mac, yes? You don't connect directly from the Reader

hi to get my e-book library software to work with windows 7 I had to right click the shortcut icon on the desktop and click troubleshoot compatibility, it now runs it in compatibility mode for windows XP (service Pack 2) though everytime i use it it the computer asks if it is alright for the program to make changes to this computer, i just say yes and in it goes.
though of course as I am in the UK it just says to go to WHsmiths or Waterstones or borders |

On my Windows 7 Dell laptop (bought with 64-bit "Home Premium Edition" of Win 7) it works perfectly. |

Sorry Harry but this is a brand new install windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. i had a different problem to the poster, ebook Library installed with no problems but it wouldn't open.
Next time I reinstall the OS I might go back to Vista, My Laptop doesn't seem too chuffed with Windows 7, I spend enough time at work troubleshooting operating systems to want to do it when I get home. |

I've got eBook Library installed on Windows 7 64bit Professional and don't have any problems with it at all. New installation. I did switch over to Calibre on someone's recommendation, far better library manager!

Thanks everyone for all your support, I just upgraded from Windows Vista to Window 7, I tried everything even went through Sony. I installed it and I uninstalled it. Long story short I longed in on my administrators account and it was there all the time. It is now working great and I have all my book in place. Thanks Harry, Jayne80.
