apologies for a very newbiesh question but when downloading the ebook software when it gives me the choice do i click on run or save?

Thanks

i usually prefer to save it to a specific folder on my hard drive. that way, if i need to reinstall it in the future, i have the installer handy without downloading it again.

once it's finished downloading, just double-click the .exe file to launch the installation.

I downloaded the sony software from their website. whenever i plug in my reader, it always asks me if i want to install the sony software. how do i disable that?

Okay, after a week of frustration with the auto-launching/auto-install partition, I sat here and figured out how to disable this read-only partition. I don't have the Sony software installed, as I use Calibre exclusively.

This does not require disabling a drive letter.

I'm using Vista Ultimate 64-Bit, and I own the PRS-300.

First, open "Computer", and then right-click your reader's drive letter. Left-click "properties". You're presented with a series of tabs. Click the "Hardware" tab. Choose "Sony PRS-XXX Launcher USB Device", then click the "Properties" button. This opens a new window, with a new series of tabs. Click the "Driver" tab, and finally click the "Disable" button. Finally, you will be required to reboot your computer. This disables only the Launcher partition driver, and does not interfere with normal USB operation of the device.

zelda, cool, thanks!
