Manichean. Thank you so much for attempting to assist me with this issue. I uninstalled calibre & do not intend to reinstall it--it is just too irritating. It appears to be a good program, just not for my needs.
I have used and supported my local library for years & I have purchased 100's of hardcover books also. I am in the process of donating my hardcover collection to my local library as we are downsizing. Since retirement, we travel alot & reading hard cover has become cumbersome and e-reading on my laptop is also cumbersome for travel. Hence my interest in an e-reader, this site has been helpful with my decision on which device to purchase. I would never consider pirating books (would not even know how). I have a great deal of respect for writers & feel their income is well deserved. I will continue to rent from my local library & will also purchase from sites such as Sony & Borders. I never even heard of DRM until a couple of weeks ago.
Sorry to have rambled on; but, I felt a need for explanation. I will use the Sony Library Reader for my book management needs because I do not need to worry about DRM & become irritated in the process--I need simplification in my retirement years. Thanks again for your attempt.
