on several occasions. i've been on the phone w/sony tech for a grand total of over 4 hrs!!! i was so desperate tonight i actually sent an email to Borders considering I purchased the sony b/c it was their reader of choice and i'm a border's rewards member. right about now i'm purchasing my books from all sorts of websites and using calibre to convert and store to reader. had a humdinger of a time w/drm protection though

Finally found the solution !
Sony Ebook Library Problems? Come Here First
#1 Andybaby 03-03-2009, 09:16 PM I believe this was posted on another part of the forum. Many people come here with problems with the Sony Ebook Library software, and I've noticed the answer almost always is this. Doing the Following seems to solve, Connection Issues, Sync Issues, and Crashing Issues. (to help with Google Searches find their answer as this site ranks pretty high on google) Ebook Library Crashing Ebook Library Can't Connect Ebook Library Can't Sync Quote To help correct your issue with the eBooks software please follow the below steps: Go to Start>Control Panel and open Add/Remove programs. Find and uninstall/remove "eBook Library by Sony". Open My Computer. Go to Tools>Folder Options. Click View and select “Show hidden files and folders” and click ok Please delete the following folders as listed below: For XP C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\kinoma C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Marlin C:\Documents and Settings\%username%( i.e. you windows log in name) \Local Settings\Application Data\kinoma C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Local Settings\Application Data\Sony Corporation C:\Program Files\Sony\eBook Library For Vista C:\ProgramData\kinoma C:\ProgramData\Marlin C:\Program Files\Sony\eBook Library C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Sony Corporation C:\Users\%usernam%\AppData\Local\kinoma After doing so, reinstall your Connect Reader software from: http://ebooks.connect.com/downloadclient.html Also If you are having Connection Issues, Or Charging Issues with your Reader, make sure you are using the USB cable that came with your reader, this seems to solve all these issues too. |

Sony, either FIX your software or allow ebooks to be bought with just a web browsers and ADE. Yes, we finally found software that is worse than Adobe's. BOb |

no, the software not running is definitely NOT solved for me. I've tried all the suggestions from different threads and several sony techs have attempted to fix the problem and nothing works. I don't even have windows 7 OR vista!

Everytime I attempt to check out, the software crashes and I get the following error:
Error Signature AppName: reader library.exe AppVer: 3.1.0.0 ModName: fsk.dll ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0008ecb3 Any clues? Or do I just need to go through the previous posts and do all that stuff? |

Hi All,
I'm affected by this as well - I'm running Win7, it's the 2nd time I've been hit with this (once on an XP netbook which I eventually abandoned, the other on my current Win7 laptop), I get a couple of seconds of disk activity and then the Reader software sits sulking in Task Manager I'm worried about contacting Sony (I'm a UK based user who's been buying books from the US store), would they kill my account and therefore I'd lose my $100+ credit balance? Should I bite the bullet? Regards, John |

This isn't a fix, sorry, but a messy work-around, and you'll need to be tech-savvy to make this work for you, but it's working for me, so I'll share, in case it's useful to someone else.
I've set up a VMWare PC image running Windows XP with just the EReader software. I'll never be running Windows update, or installing anything else on this 'machine' I download the books on it, and then copy them to my real, physical machine which is running Calibre. It's working fine for me, and I now have a copy of the machine, which I know works which I can revert to if something goes wrong in future. Hope this helps someone else. Regards, John |
