you're not in the minority. i tried calibre once, but never used it again and stuck with the sony software. it works and does what it says without issue.

I'm asking because I would like to use this tool to buy an ebook from a store not included there. I'm not sure if it is possible to add other stores. Regards, Spürnase |

Note that you still need to make sure that the books you buy are compatible with the reader. I.e. they have to use either Adobe ADEPT DRM or be DRM-free. |

I always found good service at the Sony eBook Store. If you can find their gift cards on sale (sometimes at Target) you can get great buys too. I never liked the Library software though.

One thing that I really like about the Sony eBookstore (that I was just reminded of this morning) is that if there's a particular author you like, you can sign up to receive updates when that author has a new title in the bookstore. Now if you could request notices for authors they don't yet have, that would be extra nice!
I think the store's biggest downfall is the absence of sample chapters, TOC to preview before purchasing. |
