Thanks for the suggestion. I'm just not sure creating a catalog would be useful to me since it would in essence mean looking through another "book" and then looking back at the main library on my reader to find the actual book. I think the only option was the other one mentioned in that thread and the one I already mentioned -- I'll just have to reconvert the books and then have Calibre add in the page with the meta data. It's just a shame -- there are so many things Sony could update in their firmware which would make this a better reader.
Oh well. I suppose I could just switch to a Kindle 3, but I really want to try to give this thing a go. I've gotten used to the screen and no longer notice the glare, plus I really do prefer the touch screen for certain things, which was one reason I bought this as opposed to the Kindle.
And, as long as I'm on a soap box, another reason I went with this thing was expandability of memory -- though I think I was kidding myself if I ever thought I'd need that much memory -- maybe for music, but books simply don't take that much space. Even though I downloaded the Project Gutenberg DVD, I know 99.5% of it is stuff I'd never read so I ended up tracking down individual books I'm interested in which are already formatted and the DVD image is just sitting around on my hard drive, untouched.
Plus, I wanted the ability to borrow from the library back in New York.
And, it also happens that when I ordered my Sony reader, the Kindle 3 hadn't been announced yet and I was operating on the assumption of a $189 reader which I couldn't get shipped directly to my home since I'm in Israel, where until they started selling the Kindle 3, they were refusing to ship so I'd have to have it shipped to my mother in New York. But all that is off topic for this thread so I'll step off my soap box now. . .and try to enjoy my reader for what it does do.
Anyway, thanks for the info.
Eric
