Listing Books by Date
Hi, Ive already go another thread on "Which one should I buy?" But thought I would ask you Sony lovers for advice too. I have a prs 300 and love it but its looking a bit tatty now and Im thinking of getting something different. The function that I MUST have is being able to list the books by date as I like to load a few books at a time and have them in the order I want to read them, but after looking at some readers I noticed you can list the by Author, Title and recent but not your own order.
Im thinking of getting another Sony coz I dont seem to like the other makes but........ do all of the Sonys have a list for "Books By Date"? Thanks for any advice. |

For your needs, I would just create 1 shelf (automatically with Calibre) and then browse for your books in the shelf. Sticky about shelves here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=193184 |

Books on 350, 650, T1 can be sorted by Date, Title, Author, File name and Latest read.
Have you tried 6" ones? I'd say 8 of 10 my friends chose 6" over 5" after extensive uses. More words in a page, or bigger fonts are usually the reason. If you carry a bag with you, 6" is really no trouble. You have more choices on 6" readers. Edit: I just tried. A text file was created on 12/20/2012. I opened it, save-as another file, so the new file dated 06/07/2013. I loaded them to both 350 and T1, they showed up first when sorted by date. Last edited by david8866; 06-07-2013 at 02:13 PM. |

I recommend that you check out the new Sonys. I like the extra features such as library & Evernote integration. Dictionary support is also great.
And if use calibre then you can get sophisticated with sorting. For example I sort my collections by a column on calibre with Publication Date. |

Thanks for your comments and as Ive said on my other thread.... I have no bloody idea why I went and got a 505 and am now thinking I should have got a T2 but the lack of stylus holder is all thats put my off, and I feel stupid for admitting thats was the deal breaker. lets hope Father Christmas can get his chubby hands on a new and improved sony ereader and hope the 505 i bought on ebay lasts that long lol

Well, the 505 was a great reader. We still have one in use in my house even though we have a T1 available for use too. The main thing is just to enjoy reading, and all the bells and whistles aren't needed simply to enjoy a good book.

To be honest Bookworm_Girl I do just want a basic reader,I dont even care about a light but I do care how it feels to hold and another major bug for me is the recommended books bit on the front pages.
My main problem is that I know what I want but nothing fits so I have to compromise, you are right though, as long as I can read I should be happy....... My husband and kids ..... not so much. Something to do with me reading rather than doing housework I think. |
