Book covers and errors transferring 63 books

[QUOTE=thianliongpatpoh;1062634

One more issue: I was able to upload a drm (ADE) ebook i got from sony. It loaded fine on the ipad (txtr app). but i dunno why, none of my book covers are displayed.[/QUOTE]


Here is what i had to do to get the book covers (i have a mac) Once i uploaded my books to the website, I found an option to edit them, which includes an option to download the book covers. In my case that meant going to a Adobe Digital Editions file on my mac which stores thumbnails, and importing them one by one. Once that was done, the books downloaded to my iPad with the covers in tact. I had to delete and re-down some that i'd loaded earlier without the covers.

I transferred over 60 books that I have purchased from Sony to my iPad. I did run into errors with 5 of the books. I get a series of error messages each time i load them (3-4 messages) and i just click ok, until the messages stop, at which point 4 of the books can be read. One can't be read, and crashes the program.

The font and format rendering is quite rough, but the books are readable, and I am thrilled to rescue books I bought legitimately and thought were down the tubes forever once the Sony reader dies.
