The most recent version of PRS+ has its own installer now. So installation is download the PRS+ .exe file for the 350, plug in your 350 to the PC, install simply by double-clicking the .exe file you downloaded. And done. You no longer need another installer such as Boroda to install PRS+, it's a much simpler and easier process now.

When I first got my reader I used to drag and drop books to it. Then I discovered Calibre and that's the only way I now upload books. It sets up a file folder for each author and also will upload a nice cover if you have one within the Calibre library (which I MUCH prefer over a blank page with text on it for a cover which it would default to without a graphic cover). I really prefer the organization it has given to my reader compared to how it used to be, which gives more functionality to browsing by folder when you have one per author.

Calibre also never touches files on the reader and not within the Calibre library... it won't delete them, and it won't move them to the PC or copy them to the PC unless you tell Calibre to do it. Perhaps you had a very early version of Calibre? What it does when I plug in my reader which is very nice is show a green checkmark for all books on the reader, and in the reader pane will have the checkmark for all books on your PC in the Calibre library. Those not on the PC will not have the checkmark, making it very easy to see which books are not in both places if you want.

I also found using Calibre much better to keep all my ebooks in one location on my PC in the Calibre library now so it's easy to tell if I have a book or not. I want them all backed up anyway for safety, so I never rely on them being only on the reader for instance.
