doc books to Sony 505
Hi All,
I look through the forum then decide I'll stick to tax law!! Much easier. Can someone either point me the way, or explain how (if possible) to download .doc files to my Sony? I get error, and can't convert, messages from Calibre. I've found many books, in all formats, at truly-free.org. Thanks All |

.doc files directly transfered to a PRS 505 are not seen by the device.
There are 2 options: 1) Transfer .doc to prs 505 via Sony Software. Never tested, but it is supposed to work. 2) Save .doc files as rtf or html (filtered) and convert the output with Calibre to epub or lrf which are formats supported by your prs 505. Last edited by Kostas; 08-20-2009 at 11:04 PM. |

Thanks!!!
I played last night with transferring the word (2007 btw) files to html then converting with calibre. It worked, slow, but worked. I'll try the Sony software also Thanks Again!! |

Using Word lets me change the font size easily also while changing to rtf. Of course Calibre lets you change the font size too. Good Luck. |
