I just signed up for the Sony Credit card hoping to get the Sony Reader for about $50. In addition, I placed an order for this DVD of classic books.

BASIC QUESTIONS:

Can I use a PC with an SD card reader?
Does the card need to be formatted by the Sony ebook?

How can I transfer the files to the reader for viewing? (as an alternate to the posting just above this one)

Is this it? (is the method above better?)

Put DVD into a PC DVD drive, select the desired files and copy them to a file folder on the hard drive, insert SD card into a USB 2.0 SD card reader, drag and drop the desired files to the SD card, insert card into Sony ebook -- select file and read away? or?

Thanks.
future ebook user...
SD card reader: Yes
formatted by Sony Reader: No

transfer files
Sony Connect software: This will come with your Reader, but you can download it as well. You will need this if you want to transfer files from your PC to the memory inside your Reader. The way you describe above will work fine for the SD card.

thanks for the info....

is this correct?

--copy files to SD card via USB card reader -- drag and drop
--put SD card into Sony reader,
--connect reader to the PC
--run Connect software to transfer files from the card to internal memory in the reader.

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear.

You can only load files onto the internal memory when the Sony Reader is plugged into your computer, and you are running the Connect software. The files can be directly transferred from your HD to the Reader. When you have a SD card in your Reader, you can load files directly from your HD to the SD card.

You can also load the ebook files onto a SD card with a card reader.

gardenstate;

Can I use a PC with an SD card reader?

Yes, works great.

Does the card need to be formatted by the Sony ebook?

No, the Reader does not format SD cards.

How can I transfer the files to the reader for viewing? (as an alternate to the posting just above this one)

Transfers can be made to the Reader via CONNECT software to either the internal memory or the SD card, via libprs500 to either, or via a card reader attached to your computer (or part of your computer.) All work great.

Is this it? (is the method above better?)

Since CONNECT only works with PCs running Windows, libprs500 provides options for people with a Mac or for those running Linux.

Put DVD into a PC DVD drive, select the desired files and copy them to a file folder on the hard drive, insert SD card into a USB 2.0 SD card reader, drag and drop the desired files to the SD card, insert card into Sony ebook -- select file and read away? or?

That method will work fine. The trick is to find a method that works best for the way you like to organize and operate your computer.

I have CONNECT installed on one desktop and one laptop plus I have libprs500 installed on another desktop. For me both are critical pieces of software that enhance the Reader experience.
