So I picked up a Sony PRS-350 yesterday at Best Buy since it was on sale and I've been thinking about getting a e-reader for awhile. It doesn't have everything I want(expandable storage), but after moving about 50 books over to the device and still having 1.4 GB left, I'm pretty happy(most of my ebooks are in the .3-.5 mb range).

I have had issues with three pdfs though. The Sony will begin processing them to open, but eventually just goes back to the home screen. and I tried again and on one of them it worked and the pdf opened and on another it did the same processing thing again and keeps going back to the home screen. The third pdf opens, but whenever I try to zoom in to medium, it kicks me back to the home screen. I did convert each to epub and they have no more problems, but it is weird. Is it a formatting thing? Why does it only effect some pdfs?

I've been using Calibre to move my books over and it seems like the metadata is not traslating to the Sony Reader software, but it does show up on the reader. For example, the author tag shows up when I sort by author on the device, but in the Sony reader software, the author tag doesn't show and it just lists the original title from before I modified it using Calibre.

This brings me to my third problem. I can't seem to get it to default sort by author when viewing all books. I tried deleteing all the books on the reader and then enabling the Sony plugin as per another thread and then re-loading about 30 epubs and it still wants to sort by date.

All together I do love this device and am now totally sold on e-readers, but the default sort order may be a deal-breaker. It only takes a second to re-sort using the corner icon or the settings, but it annoys me to have to do that every time I go into the booklist. :-(

Does anyone have any ideas/solutions?
