I'm somewhat in the position of Lady Fitzgerald. I'm not computer illiterate and I'm not illiterate in the software that I need to do my daily work (e.g., MS Word), but when it comes to programming and the expressions and detailed understanding, well I might as well be brainless.
I recently asked how to stop Calibre from creating collections on my Sony. There was nothing obvious that I could find anywhere (I did look). Even if my question had been previously answered on MR, I couldn't find the answer by searching. Perhaps I used the wrong search terms. I had no idea that I needed to edit the Sony plugin; this is not obvious to someone like me (truthfully, I had no idea there was a Sony plugin -- I have no idea how Calibre is structured underneath its veneer).
Calibre is a great program; I use few of its features. Largely I use it to upload to my 950 and 505 ebooks that I have bought from ebookstores other than the Sony ebookstore, something I could do with the Sony software but Calibre is easier. Except for moving books from my hard drive to my 950 or 505, I make no use of Calibre's other functions, and I expect that many users of Calibre do the same. We are the technically challenged.
FWIW, I do appreciate the aid that is given me and I express my thanks not only with a thank you post but by giving karma. But sometimes the manual is not enough, especially when it isn't written for dummies like me.
