eBook Library v.2.3

cbk · 03-12-2009, 10:41 AM

I'm having a slight problem. I'm a happy non-US owner of a PRS 505, that for various tragic and computerrelated reasons, need to reinstall eBook Library. The CD-rom is busted, and the only version of eBook Library I can get my hands on is v.2.5 from Sonys download site. That wont install on my computer since I'm not in the US.
Various tricks with location does not help, and Google cant find an older, non-US-friendly version. Anyone who can help?

I don't remember a version 2.3, but version 2.2 is available on rapidshare. To download, click on the "Free User" button and after about 30 seconds you should be able to download the file (size is about 12 MB). Hope it works for you.

I'm in the UK and using 2.5 with no problems. (Vista 64)

@yekim54: Thanks that solves the problem!

@Mick4545: Strange. Is it the 2.5 from the box, or from Sonys website? Just trying to figure out how to cheat the installer

I'm also using 2.5 on XP, but probably got there via letting earlier versions upgrade themselves. I'm interested, but have no idea how it would be checking for locations, other than maybe the first version having stored something in your registry...

I got it from Sony's website. The version in the box was the UK software, I forget the number of it. Anyhow, no problems at all with 2.5.

You can change the Windows location by following the instructions here.

The instructions are for Windows Vista, but XP has the same control panel applet.
