Wow, many thanks to all who have responded. I have managed to navigate ADE and although I have no idea how I did it, I now have my files on my Sony. I still feel far from confident as I just did searches and read articles on the net as well as follow advice given here.
I have actually found the discussions on here quite 'interesting' to read, and to really throw a 'spanner' in the works, confess I had actually considered buying and Kindle to replace my Sony, lack of funds is all that stopped me as I did have numerous accesories for my Sony.
What I have decided to do is start from the beginning as it were and move my 'booking' to my old laptop which is old (XP) but hardly used since my netbook arrived. I am then going to take a book or 10 at a time and find the originating file and work on that.
I think I muddled myself too much at the beginning - I bought several CDs of 'book files' from e-bay which I realised since is illegal (not the buying but the offering for sale), although the buying may also have placed me in jeopady. These files were in all sorts of modes (pdf: Word: lit: etc) and I put them all in calibre and converted them to epub which is, I believe where the problems started. So I am getting rid of those files and am just going to work on epub.
I am going to cut and paste into a word document the various suggestions above and start from there.
One point though, that I have found in a purchased e-pub book is one referred to in one of my original posts and that is the double 'll' this still crops up with consistency even in a purchased epub and I wondered if this is some kind of quirk that has yet to be ironed out.
Again many thanks for the responses, it is, quite educational reading all the differences of opinion.
No doubt I will encounter many more problems on my journey, which in reality has only just begun.
