Install & File location question.

Installing libprs500 yesterday, it requested an uninstall of Windows driver for the 500. After install, I started libprs500, but it didn't see the reader. I let windows prompt that it saw new hardware, then let it auto search and install, and libprs500 then saw the reader, and everything worked smoothly. Later, I opened up the Connect software, to go to the online store, and was prompted to get latest version (when I let windows do it's thing, automatically, apparently I wound up behind the times, but functional). I assume I can let it upgrade to latest, without disturbing libprs500 functionality? Can you alternately go back and forth between Sony's library software, and libprs500, and have both see the reader? Currently, libprs500 works, and the Sony software works, except that it doesn't see the reader.
Don't know of a reason, offhand, to want both working ... just curious.
Different question. I didn't see offhand where the books I brought into libprs500 were stored, and didn't see any way to specify where I wanted them stored. After converting, and moving to the reader, I saved them to my G: partition, then deleted them from libprs500, in hopes this would clean up any excess files it might be saving somewhere on the C drive. I like to keep my C partition as clean as possible - OS, and essential programs, and relegate games, downloads, and assorted data files to other partitions. Makes cleanup, defrags, and backups of my critical stuff easy and quick, and keeps my bootups extremely quick ... so I'm willing to do it much more frequently. Is there some way to config the target directory? Am I missing the blindingly obvious location it is saving converted files to, after I hit the convert button?
If my workaround is the best I can do, that's fine, but wanted to check. Thanks for the splendid tool. Hard to feel much in the way of early adopter angst when you go and make things so darn easy, blast it.
