OK, thanks, that lets me know what I need to know. Your take is similar to mine: it's either the hard way or not at all. I respect that this not actively discussed and won't pursue any further.

I had a hard time deciding between the Sony 650 and the K3. Local stores had the 350 and the 950 but not the 650, so I couldn't handle it and read from it. I don't know if it's going out of production, getting upgraded, or just more in demand than the supply can meet--but there we no 650s anywhere locally. In the end, I choose the K3--in part because I couldn't directly handle the 650 (like I had the K3), and in part because I have a large Amazon library. So in the end, I don't need the advanced features of Calibre, but just wanted a sense of how they functioned.

Many thanks for the conversation!
